And I always thought Foresberg was a center.

That would be awesome if he signed. Somehow, in the back of my mind, im hoping that the NJ/Van trade will fall through. Nazzie and Foresberg would work well together having been like childhood best friends, growing up on the same street and all. Hopefully, it will give Nazzie a bost of confidence and up his game.

I can only hope...

I 100% agree with the Mats Sundin and Frantisek Kaberle thing. Even though I would love to Peter Forsberg and Markus Naslund side-by-side I believe Forsberg is worth 3.5 million dollars per at most and I know Dave Nonis will make the right decision in the end with our 50.3 million dollar salary cap drawing nearer….

I think Forsberg would fit on the team very well but on the other hand the Canucks must not overpay for him. Forgive me for saying this but I wouldn't anymore than 3 million a year for a player who is almost guarenteed to play less than 30-40 games a season due to injury. But it your after another Swedish player go after the king none other than Sundin. I know some of you may roll your eyes at this notion but what Sweed in the NHL right now other than zeterberg can produce and control the play better than Mats. This team lacks transition players and also someone who will be there for almost the entire season. After all Sundin is used to playing with bums Antro and Poni. I think he would add that demension. And Vancouver needs that transitional defensmen. Someone like F. Kaberla. He is talented but don't expect him shoot very often. Or sit back and ride on the back of Luongo into the playoffs and get swept.

Do you think it would be possible to somehow fit Forsberg in and pull the trigger on the Elias deal?
That would be a deadly line:
Naslund-Forsberg-Elias

If Forsberg's ankles are up to it and he wants to come play with Vancouver that would be awesome. I think he'd bring Naslund back to life and possibly bring us the cup… Sign Forsberg!

The Canucks have over 8 mill in cap space and Naslund has a TEAM Option for 2008/2009, the canucks can afford Elias with giving up B-Mo and Ollie

I like Elias’ contract. Naslund will most likely retire to Sweden after this year and Elias would be ours for 4 more years after with the last 3 only at 5 mil; a cheaper upgrade in my opinion. Elias has also led a Devils team that is very similar to the one Nonis has assembled. Ohlund is definitely not the player he once was and Morrison’s 50 points a year could be replaced for less than the 3+ mil he gets every year. I hope this is more than a rumour
