Forsberg did not return to the Cougars after the Christmas break and has demanded a trade. Another great job developing players by Dean Clark.

Hopefully he can find some success somewhere else, his stock has dropped dramatically the last year.
This Prince George team is just inconsistent and to be honest lack character. None of these guys when you watch them play seem dedicated to the team. Watching the team collapse from a 3-0 lead going into the third shows a lot. I don't blame Alex for wanting to leave Prince George.
Majority of the team, probably, but not with Bourke and he hasn't demanded a trade or anything like that. Also Alex isn't the hardest worker on the ice and his defensive game is basically trash. I'm not saying that Prince George is good by any means, but he (A. Forsberg) deserves majority of the blame in this situation. The rest goes to the poor management, but in reality what is Prince George supposed to do? They drafted him first overall in 2010 (Jesse was 11th in 2008) hoping he can change their losing ways and both of them now demanded a trade. I would give Prince George the blame from their history, but they have produced quite a bit of NHL talent and good NHL talent to boot.
Glad they at least drafted Harkins who should bring some thunder back.
this was thrown out there by IamtheLiquor as well in another thread and is simply not true and definitely not lately.
Producing is drafting and developing NHL talent and the last guy was Connolly, before him?
Marincin and Bourke might turn out, same with Tyrell.
Before that, and under a different regime, it was Big Buff but man the cupboard is really thin if you look at actual producing of players for the NHL.
You might want to look at what other WHL teams have produced "NHL talent" before you go spreading more nonsense.
this is what you get when the owners give the gm job to his son in law and leave him in the front office even though he cant put together a winning product. Heven forbid we actually get a hockey brain in to run the organization. We here in PG have proven you put a decent product on the ice and we will come out in droves, you keep putting family in front of the product on the ice and this is the kind of **** that happens. Brodsky should sell this team the new owners should put a good hockey mind in charge and it will once again become one of the hardest tickets to come by in canada. The last time we had a true hockey mind in charge (stan Buttler) was when we had players like Chara and brewer and hamhuis on our back end it was a packed house every night. Now we get spoiled little ****** like the Forsbergs and Prab Rai who think they are too good to play here, this managment team is horrid
well done PG... didn't trade him before the deadline... make him sit in Junior A now... i love it!!!!... before the season he was a possible NHL 1st rounder... now hes stuck in Junior A unless he stops being a baby and comes back to PG
Let's be honest, PG have never been good for anything, the only reason why they have had good players play for them is because they suck, and every year they get high bantam and euro draft picks, so of course they will stumble onto the odd good player, nothing else.
There is a thing called development.
he hasnt been particularly good in junior a, in my 2 game sample of seeing him play he lacked intensity, and absolutly got belted by josh roach playing with his head down, he eventually got a garbage goal but really didnt accomplish much
I ask this based on my two- to three-year sample size: Do you have any thoughts on why it seemed as though Alex never brought Jesse's intensity to the ice?Maybe that's cause he doesn't want to be there.
