With no forsberg and a solid top line - why would a preium player want to come to the Flyers? Chara makes bank in Boston but has hurt his career by playing on a doormat. If Forsberg stays, the Flyers get to keep the draw for other player and with the salary they have dumped - they will have plenty of money to spend in the off-season.

With that said - NOW is the time to get max value for Forsberg. I think the team that might pop for him is Nashville and if Radolov is on the table - Holgren might have to at least listen. With Sid and Malkin in state and Backstrom, Ovheckin and Semin down the freeway - the Flyers don't have the premium kids like other doormat teams (think the kings). The problem is - the premium in the NHL is on scoring d-men and Nashville has them. Forget picks, those are 17 year old kids that are 4 years away from playing. Shea Webber is SCORING now. If Webber and Radulov were on the table - you would have to consider moving Forsberg plus to get them. To use a fantasy term - that is one hell of a keeper team for the Flyers. For Nashville, they address their POOR attendance issues by becoming a legit contender with Foppa (assuming he can stay healthy).

Mike Richards should be availible to any contending team looking to cover their prospect downside. Having scored his 3rd goal all season - he has proved to us all that he stinks compared to the talent every other team has coming up. He does however have some trade value assuming the Flyers were to get a better prospect or pick coming up...

Hi Guys, let me explain why I would go after Forsberg if I were Gainey

We'll need a salary exchange ... fine with Samsonov - Perezoghin and a 1rst ronder or another prospect or Aebischer ... we would have space for next year if Forsberg do not sign with Montreal, to sign Souray - Markov - Rivet.

For Sure we'll need to get rid of a 1rst rounder ... but we have enough god prospect in Hamilton.

Go for Forsberg, Bob, we need to get things shaked up

A piece of our future? Who? Perezhogin? And a 1st or 2nd round pick? We have enough prospects. Having been injured for half the season, he's got 1 point fewer than Kovalev (who's our 3rd highest scorer), on the league's worst team. If we expect to make the playoffs this year, then something's gotta change.

What Holmgren and Foppa are interested in can be different.

Also, the Sharks had better not trade bernier/vlasic and a high pick. Yes, the Sharks are very good this year, but next year they'll be much better. Their team is very young, and their Dmen are entering their prime years. There's no reason to drop a 2nd line RW and a potential top 3 dman for a player that mark Bell will be next year once he gets all the legal business behind him. If I were Doug Wilson, and the Islanders asked for Bernier/Vlasic, a high pick AND Gorges, I'd say they'd better throw Tambellini or Nilsson in along with Blake in order to keep a serious trade negotiation going, because Blake is like Darcy Tucker. A grinding 2nd-3rd liner who's half-decent at prodding goalies out of the way so that a puck can go through. Plus, the guy's 33 or something, so he's either at the tail end of his prime, or past it. No way Wilson would screw his team's future over, even IF they are weak on the left.

Maybe you misread the article. The article stated that PETER FORSBERG was interested in three teams, not Holmgren.

Wasn't Stuart supposed to get traded for a player in the same class as Joffrey Lupul? Yeah they Ference, and Kobesew, and they had to put Primeau in that deal too.

Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau have just been dealt from the Bruins to the Flames for Chuck Kobasew, Andrew Ference and a pick according to the Fan 960 in Calgary.

Where is the Canucks in the top 3???It is believed that Holmgern and the Flyers are very interested in Schnider of the Canucks goalie Prospect but dont know who else they would have to give up in the deal but hope its not Morrison.
In other news the Hockey Central panel today on Sportsnet is saying that the Sharks are very close to landing Jason Blake of the Islanders for Bernier or Vlasek,Georges,and a high pick.

while its true no one wants him, the waiver thing had more to do with cap space. even if a team wanted him, few have that kind of room for next season
