Last year it was Mats Sundin. Now it's Peter Forsberg. The Vancouver Canucks are interested in signing the former winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy if he's up to NHL snuff, general manager Mike Gillis confirmed yesterday. Vancouver has six people watching Forsberg at the Karjala Cup tournament in Finland, according to the Team 1040 AM.

Another day, another Forsberg rumor.

November 6, 2009  09:42 AM ET

He has said he always wanted to play in Canada.

Couldn't they just have put one rumor up and put the following teams are interested in Forsberg, but he won't play more than 10 games so it won't matter.....Than we could all bash it over one day instead of over a weeks period

It takes six people to watch him for one team?

November 6, 2009  10:32 AM ET

Seriously, we're going to run through this for all the teams? Give it up Fupa! Alright, alright, I'll admit, if you could pay him five grand I'd take him on the Wings, since we're hurting forwards wise. But what you'd have to give a vet it would take a crazy team like the Rangers to sign him.

I would say that these six guys (six!!??) just wanted to party in Finland...but they did sign the applesauce last season, so...

Go for it!!! They are playing well right now so anything to disrupt the 'dream' I'm for.

They're assigned accordingly.............

1. he watches his shooting
2. he watches his checking
3. he watches his passing
4. he watches skating
5. he re-attaches Foppa's foot everytime it falls off.
6. he calls Gillis afterwords and says " yep, we need to sign him!

I guess the Nucks didn't get enough Sundin flavored Sweedish meat balls!

Nice spin, Hank. Works for me.

Good old #21 on one foot is better than half the players in the NHL...

Are you serious with this? Canucks interested in Forsberg. Literally yesterday it was Rangers interested in Forsberg. The day before that was Flyers interested in Forsberg. THESE AREN'T RUMORS. I'm sure if Forsberg decided to return that every NHL team would have interest. TNR is getting VERY BAD.

This would be perfect for the Canuck fans. No team or fans make excuses about injuries more then the Canucks. Forsberg can add to their reasoning that they can't win because of injuries.

All Forsberg needs is 2 things:

1) Someone to istall skates on his wheelchair
2) Someone to push the wheelchair

Yup. In a nutshell that is the average Canucklehead.

Ah they should just wait until Sundin comes back after the Olympics

November 6, 2009  03:36 PM ET

He will come back to the avs.
