Forsberg to Nashville

John F · February 15th, 2007, 05:41 PM

You guys really did a number on the Preds on this deal:

"Sources tell TSN the Nashville Predators have agreed to trade Scottie Upshall, Ryan Parent, a first round pick and a third round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for Peter Forsbeg."

hAny GM who is aware o the history of Peter Forsberg won't offer much more than a player and a pick -- mid round.

You guys don't think you pulled one over on the Preds with this one? I sure do.

I think its a great trade for the Flyers. I'm just greedy and would like a strong draft class to go along with the team's two first-round picks.

That would have been like having your cake, eating it, and probably getting ice cream to go with it.

It was a good trade for both sides. Philly got better for the future (which is good because they are in re-building mode now) and Nashville got better for this year and they now have the best chance to win the cup. Also, Parent was trade-able because of the amazing depth Nashville has on Defence and all the young studs that will be future regulars.

Holmgren should get arrested because that was highway robbery in pulling that trade. If the Preds win the cup, then it's a great trade for both sides, but until then, give the edge to the Flyers by a landslide.

It's not going to suck. There's just no immediate impact player available at the first pick.

Alexei Cherepanov is putting up numbers in the Russian super league better than Ovechkin and Malkin atthe same age (17).

all4phillysportsfan · February 16th, 2007, 06:44 PM

I think he will be The Flyers #1 overall pick, atleast I hope so

The draft is going to suck. Sure the Flyers can get someone amazing with there pick but the overall depth of this draft is not great just the top picks. Nashville's first rounder will be anywhere from 25th-30th overall and the Flyers chance of taking an impact player is not that good.

i could care less about the picks. i want to see if upshaw pans out and if parent's bad back can survive our free clinic material medical staff

all4phillysportsfan · February 19th, 2007, 06:10 AM

Upshaw scored in his debut. good start

CTDucksFan · February 19th, 2007, 01:29 PM

Either way, I think it's a relief for the Flyers to not have to worry about this anymore. The one thing that always sticks in my mind about Forsberg (other than Flopping and being Injury-prone) is his willingness to "Take his ball and go home" all the time...either by threatening to go to Sweden or, no, to retire.

The fact that you got so much back for him is great. I'm glad you didn't fleece the Ducks!!

all4phillysportsfan · February 19th, 2007, 06:49 PM

Yeah it's great. Upshaw scored again tonight. This trade is looking great so far
