will we ever win?

Forsberg

The Flyers have signed Peter Forsberg and in the process have righted a 13 year hockey wrong. Lindros should have stayed in Quebec and Forsberg should have been a Flyer. The hockey gods were displeased at the disruption of the natural course of things and cursed Lindros and all he touched. Lindros was given an eggshell head, won nothing, and never really lived up to his potential. Forsberg exceeded his and won 2 cups. Please hockey gods, allow Forsberg to play at his former skill level, be injury free (he missed the majority of the last NHL season played) and return the Cup to Philadelphia.

One problem with the signing is the Flyers are now over the cap and have to trade some players. The "hot" rumor is Roenick will be going to the Kings to make room. I say keep Roenick and get rid of Desjardins. I'm tired of him. With all the guys they just signed on defense they now have an extra man and if you're worried about depth down the road, Kapanen can fill in or you can bring up Slaney from the Phantoms.

This move will make the Flyers the favorite to win it all this year. Before they had lots of offensive weapons and skill and now they have added the "best player in the world". Defense is solid, if slow. Is goaltending going to be a question? Let's hope not and there will be two parades on Broad Street next year.

UPDATE: Flyers have traded Roenick to the Kings as expected. All they got in return was "future considerations". Weak.
