One Game At A Time

from Jim Kelley at Sportsnet,
The Flyers want to sign Forsberg to a long-term deal before he hits the free-agent market, but insiders tell Sportsnet that Forsberg is content to take it one game at a time for now. The hesitancy is thought to be a ploy on Forsberg’s part to see exactly where the team is going over the next little while. If it looks like it will right itself and become a Cup contender again, well, a long-term deal makes sense, but if the current chaos prevails, it might be time for the 36-year old to play the field.
This is likely to resolve itself by the first of the year. If the Flyers are a team on the move, Forsberg will listen to their offers. If not, look for general manager Paul Holmgren to start shopping Forsberg in an effort to get something for him before he’s able to walk away.
more… catch other NHL news too, plus an opening feature on Mike Babcock…

This is the same yokel who, in 2001, decided to bash the Hurricanes by commenting on the Greensboro Coliseum (i.e. he assumed the ‘Canes still played there, because he couldn’t be arsed to come to Raleigh and actually see them play at the then-ESA)--and then had the bollocks to come on local sports talk radio (such as it is) and, in response to being asked about the deluge of angry nastygrammes he received from ‘Canes fans, arrogantly say that he didn’t think anyone down here was paying attention.
So fuhgeddaboudim.

Jim Kelley may want to do a little research before he publishes an article, in this case he may want to quote Forsberg’s correct age!
