Peter Forsberg did a fist pump after getting drafted and is now on the injured reserve.

One of the worst trades in NHL history. The Flyers got Lindros who never lived up to the hype and was never the same after Scott Stevens. Quebec received a Forsberg won a Calder, Art Ross and Hart Trophy along with two Stanley Cups. While his ability to score during the physical clutch and grab era was extremely impressive. Forsberg was also extremely skilled at moving the puck. 4th all time in assists per game behind Gretzky, Mario and Orr.

I think if Forsberg had not been made of glass he would be in the discussion for 1b all time player.

There are multiple greats one could claim are “made of glass” tbh quite a few of the modern day players wouldn’t be able to take the punishment during Forsbergs era. You could also say Gretzky’s game declined as the game evolved. It’s one of the reasons I’ll always have Mario over Gretzky.

Forsberg played a very physical game along with a finesse game during an extremely physical era of hockey. If he played in the Gretzky era or Modern day hockey this is not a discussion. At the level Forsberg played and what he was able to accomplish in the clutch and grab era he is a top all time player imo

Well we waited around all afternoon. I lost interest
 
Just been busy, even when we weren't drafted hockey, and I knew this draft was going to even more time consuming considering I only know 10 players and they are all gone now.

Good luck guys, probably will be back for MLB.

Appreciate you @Nosferatu for running these drafts, a break is probably best for me anyway right now.
