    FORSBERG TO TORONTO?

    THE FAN 590: reports the Toronto Maple Leafs might pursue Peter Forsberg should he become an unrestricted free agent in August. Forsberg's agent, Don Baizley was recently seen in Toronto speaking with Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr, but he told "Leafs Lunch" that it was merely coincidental since Baizley is also the agent for Leafs prospect Alex Steen.

    Spector's Note; My thanks to "QuackerJackets" and regular contributor Dave Caldwell, who also noted that since tampering rules are in effect from now until the UFA market opens on August 1 Ferguson wouldn't state any interest in Forsberg at this time.

    AFTONBLADET: reports the Detroit News as claiming Colorado Avalanche forward Peter Forsberg is high on the wish list of the Toronto Maple Leafs, which would unite him with Mats Sundin, an apparent dream of many Swedish hockey fans.

    Spector's Note: My thanks to Magnus Persson. The Detroit News column doesn't claim the Leafs are interested in Forsberg, but merely lists him as one of several big name players named in unsubstantiated rumours as possibly heading to Toronto. For now the Leafs still have to figure out how much cap space they can free up and which free agents they'll re-sign before they go trolling in the UFA market.
    They have to sign Aki Berg first

      Oh gimmie a break.

      The Toronto sports media will do anything to make their Leafs look interesting.

      Remember when there were rumours that Gretzky would be going to Toronto before he ended up signing with the Rangers in '96? Or how about the whole Eric Lindros thing?

                    They probably made the schedule before the lottery, so they didn't know about Crosby going to Pit.

                    About the Gretzky thing, Wayne wanted to go to Toronto because that's who he cheered for as a kid. The Leaf's fans would have gone nuts, but Leaf owners didn't want to pay the hefty Gretzky price tag when they were already selling out the Gardens with the current lineup. Looks like winning the Cup was second priority. Fuck the Leafs.

                    . . .then again, if Gretzky REALLY wanted to play there, he'd lower his asking price. . .whatever

                    GO SENS!

                        Buffalo drafted GRETZKY's brother...Apparently it wasn't all genetics unfortunately.

                              He's rumored to be talking to the Penguins. It makes sense, he's good friends w/ Mario, and they need some muscle behind Crosby.
