| Forsberg not coming back to NHL
Monday, Feb 18, 2008 10:30 pm EST
After much speculation, it appears that Peter Forsberg will not be returning to the NHL. TSN of Canada reported Monday that Forsberg has been telling NHL teams that he does not have confidence in his injured foot to return to the league this season.
Forsberg, 34, has been sidelined with foot and ankle injuries since finishing last season with the Nashville Predators. The report did not indicate if the Swedish star would consider coming back to the NHL next season.
Last summer, he underwent surgery on both ankles. Once one of the league's most feared players, Forsberg, a five-time All-Star, has been slowed in recent seasons by the foot and ankle problems. He was limited to just 57 games last season with the Predators and Philadelphia Flyers, who dealt him to Nashville at the trade deadline.
