Avalanche signs Forsberg

Peter Forsberg averaged 24 goals, 58 assists and 64 games with the Avalanche

This move comes as quite a surprise.

The Colorado Avalanche have signed center Peter Forsberg to a 1-year contract worth US$5 M prorated, the equivalent to US$1 M. This signing is quite surprising due to the team, the Avalanche, which has not been rumored to be interested in Foppa as much as the Flyers, Wings..., and due to the fact that Forsberg told the Press, a week ago, that he did not feel confident enough in the healing of his foot to return to the NHL this season.

Forsberg played for the Avs from 1994, when they were known as the Québec Nordiques, until 2004, leaving to join the Flyers and then Predators. He had his only 82-game season with the Avalanche during the 1995-96 season.
