Leaf Rumours

Yeah, but this is Kadri's team now. He's the future. Throw him out there and let him run with it.

This team isn't trying to win a cup this year. Give the young guys the experience. This team needs Kadri to become a #1 center to have long term success and win the cup one day. They have to give him the opportunity, even if you may be better off in the short term otherwise.

But regardless. Forsberg would be a huge pull. Better than anyone they'd get for Kaberle, and they could keep Kaberle.
 
Forsberg was and is ten times the hockey player the Great Brantford skank ever was. This would be a major COUP. Burkian all the way. And he never pitched Tylenol or Chevrolet.

Okay, teeds you and I actually agree about Forsberg's greatness. Not in relation to Gretzky but certainly in terms of ability.

I'm marking our agreement under signs of the imminent apocalypse.
 
Eh, Forsberg is overrated. Great player, but Lindros was easily better.

Gretzky is just so much better than Forsberg. Forsberg had two 30 goal seasons. Gretzky had 15! (and 9 50 goal seasons) Gretzky scored 92 goals!... And Forsberg's big talent was passing..Gretzky still owns him in this department.

100 percent agreed. Forsberg was one of the most well-rounded players of the past fifteen years, but his lack of goal-scoring prowess seriously holds him back from being considered an all-time great. It's unfortunate too, because it was really the only area of his game that he wasn't elite in. He was defensively very strong, worked well in the corners guarding the puck or moving the puck along the wall, could take a hit, was capable of inspiring sheer fear in opposing defencemen because of the intensity with which he played, and was a tremendous playoff performer. But the fact that he never scored more than 30 goals in a season just really holds him back to me. Lindros was one of the best players ever at his peak. I just never saw that type of raw dominance in Foppa that I did in Eric.
