 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Add Peter Forsberg to the swelling list of superstars who deserted Philadelphia without a championship. Instead of winning a Stanley Cup, all the Flyers got out of their high-priced free agent was 100 games, no real solution to his lingering foot woes and no commitment to the future.
Turns out, the "C" fit on Forsberg's sweater about as well as his right foot fit in his skate.
The team captain and former NHL MVP never asked to be traded, but he never told chairman Ed Snider and general manager Paul Holmgren that he wanted to stay, either. So the Flyers had little choice. Watch him retire or sign elsewhere in the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and lose him for nothing, or deal him and keep building toward what has to be a better future.
