Foppa Camp Says No NHL This Season

Reports came out last night, and were all over the Swedish papers and news sites this morning, that Peter Forsberg will not be making an NHL comeback this season.

The story broke on TSN, article here, with a statement from Forsberg's agent Don Baizley :

"The prospect of Peter having enough confidence in the foot-skate issue to commit to being able to play in the NHL this season isn't where it needs to be at this moment," Baizley told TSN. "As a result, teams are being told it is unlikely he will be able to commit to return to the NHL this season."

As cryptic as usual, and in usual agent-speak, that quote almost says "No", but not quite. It says unlikely. And here I was actually warming to the idea of him possibly coming back to my hapless Flyers who have now lost 7 games in a row...

Meanwhile the Swedish press has taken this opportunity to once again jump on the chance of Foppa playing for the national team...they never miss an opportunity.
