Forsberg trade rumors swirling

There's still a month remaining before the NHL trade deadline, but the focus is already squarely on one Peter Forsberg. The first strong rumor to surface was that the great Swede was heading to New York.

The latest one gives Flyers fans some awful memories, with a Denver TV station reporting that Forsberg may very well be going back to the Avalanche. Forsberg, of course, was shipped out of town along with several other key ingredients for Eric Lindros, then proceeded to bring home a pair of Stanley Cups for the Avs.

Comcast-Spectacor president Peter Luukko denied the reports in a piece by the Inquirer's Tim Pinaccio. In the same article, Pinaccio reports that Todd Fedoruk threw a punch at Joni Pitkanen at practice yesterday.
