Forsberg staying in Sweden
Posted by GameSetMatch on November 17th, 2009
Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis was looking into signing former Colorado Avalanche star Peter Forsberg, but said he learned Monday that Forsberg wanted to stay in his home country.
On Tuesday, Forsberg’s agent, Don Baizley, confirmed to ESPN.com that Forsberg has decided to continue playing with Swedish league club Modo, rather than attempt another return to the NHL.
“He just wasn’t confident enough about his foot at this stage to tackle the NHL season, so he’s going to play in Sweden this season to see what happens after that,” Baizley said.
Forsberg, who spent most of his 12 NHL seasons with the Avalanche, has dealt with nagging ankle and foot problems for several years.
