Phil Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 They absolutely can't. He's also a LW. I'm not sure he's ever played the right in his career. Great player, but it's a misfit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player, but it's a misfit. I believe he has in his younger days but predominantly LW. Regardless, as you said, a bad fit that would cost more than worth due to that poor fit.

RangersIn7 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 They really can’t do Forsberg. Another top-6 LW? Great player. Bad fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I though5 he played C in the past too before checking because yahoo fantasy used to always have him all 3 fwd positions eligible.

"So I'd say not much C at all in his life" Seriously reads like "So I'd say not much C at all in his life (duh)." Seriously. It comes off as very condescending and trying to shit on what I said. A very matter of factly addition to something that had already been cleared up. Edited February 25, 2022 by The Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes off as "yeah he's played so little this is statistical evidence of how little." I'm not trying to shit on a thing. Lighten up. We won a big game today.

Phil Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Quote Predators wing Filip Forsberg is the latest big name to be bandied about the trade market and a league source said the Rangers have inquired with Nashville on the high-scoring forward who is a pending UFA. Nashville GM David Poile did this same dance with defenseman Mattias Ekholm leading up to the deadline last year and ultimately signed Ekholm to a four-year deal. Sources said the Preds want to keep Forsberg and that this may just be part of the negotiation in case there’s no deal by March 21. But this would be a high-cost rental for the Rangers and you’re looking at least $8-million per on Forsberg’s next contract — very rich for yet another winger who has mostly played the left side in his career. Someone to keep an eye on but this feels like a longer shot than most of the names connected to the Rangers so far. https://theathletic.com/3149312/2022/02/24/five-quick-thoughts-on-the-rangers-commanding-win/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 I assume it would only be as a rental, and the phone call was probably short. Another team is going to pay a king’s ransom for him with an agreement on extension in place, if he actually gets traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, effectively gauging what the cost might be, or if the Preds are resigned to trading him. As we've discussed already, it's a misfit unless he can play RW as effectively as he does LW.
