The Best Just Got Better
The Nashville Predators have picked up super-star Peter Forsberg from the Philadelphia Flyers. In return, Philadelphia got Scottie Upshall and Ryan Parent.
Nashville, being the top team in the Western Conference at the moment are obviously gearing up for a serious run at the Cup. And why not? Their goal-tending has been excellent with Chris Mason leading the league in save percentage. Forsberg will bring veteran leadership to a team that is thick on talent, but thin on any experience.
On the other hand, Philadelphia is getting two up and coming stars in Scottie Upshall (23) and Ryan Parent (19). Philadelphia sucks, make no mistake about it. They are by far the worst team in the NHL, and this season is a complete write-off. But Upshall and Parent will be their stars of the future, and give the team something to build around in the off-season.
Can't wait for the play-offs!
