Please Sather, Say "No" to Forsberg
I just read the article about Petr Forsberg trying to come back to the NHL and Sather said that he would very much like to see him in a Rangers jersey. Please Please PLEASE say no. hes good no doubt about it, but hes not the Forsberg of yesteryear anymore. We've finally been doing better to bring up young people through our systems and trades, and adding an age old post prime player, would be something that would ruin the chemistry(in my opinion) we have a quick fast paced style now, and forsberg just doesnt have the legs to keep up with the likes of Lisin and Kotalik anymore. Lisin is arguably one of the fastest people on the ice when hes on, and unless we want alot of 2-2 rushes with forsberg trailing, i dont think he would find another place to work. We dont need a center, let alone a 3rd line center(which he would probably be behind Drury and Dubinsky) but Anisimov has been impressive and Boyle hasnt been a bad addition to our team. What we really need is a quality passing winger to take the place of Voros and get a good amount of assists and energy going. Voros just isn't supplying the same time of energy he did in years past. I think we need someone with the energy like we had with Jed Ortmyer where he would come on the ice and everyone would just rally behind him, but we need someone who can put up assists and goals when theyre needed like Prucha did in his first year.
But we really need to get past this whole 'Get players who are far past their prime just because they've had really good careers in the past' which Sather has become sadly notorious for doing through the years. Please stick to what you started Sather and find someone under the age of 30 who can still skate up and down the ice with pace.
