It's official: now there is absolutely no reason to watch the Philadelphia Flyers.For weeks, questions regarding the status of superstar Peter Forsberg have been asked. An answer finally may be coming.
Citing undisclosed sources, TSN of Canada reported on its web site Thursday that the Philadelphia Flyers have agreed to a deal that would send Forsberg to the Nashville Predators for a combination of young players and draft picks.
According to the report, the Flyers would receive left wing Scottie Upshall, defenseman Ryan Parent and first- and third-round selections from the Predators, who entered Thursday with a league-leading 81 points. Upshall was chosen sixth overall in 2002, while Parent was the 18th player taken in the 2005 draft. (H/T - Yahoo! Sports)
As a quasi-Predators fan, I am loving this news! As a quasi-Flyers fan, I am disappointed, since Forsberg was easily my favorite player on this team. I will miss seeing him play.
