The signing makes no sense though... The Avalanche aren't going anywhere. They have below average goaltending, their scoring is okay at best, and their defence isn't strong enough to hold most leads. A (questionable) impact player like Forsberg is not nearly enough for a team hasn't been in a the playoff hunt since game one.
Forsberg should have signed with a team that at least had a chance to win it all like Ottawa, Detroit, or Montreal. Doesn't he want to win? At this stage of his career, this move is beyond asinine.
At least Avs fans will get to see a glimmer of the days when the other teams in the league noticed them.
