Regarding "that guy in Nashville". I must say I'm a big fan. We just need to know what he's all about. Galchenyuk and him are apples and oranges...
1-He's a winger....The puck goes on and off Forsberg's stick very quickly. He doesn't play much with the puck. As a rule, he'll never try to deke a player 1-on-1. He never makes a fancy pass but he has great vision. He'll rarely make the highlight reels. He just does everything really well. He's always thinking. He's not an explosive skater but he looks like he has deceptive speed.
2-He's 6'1 and 182 but he looks much bigger on the ice. He's very strong, wins lots of battles along the boards and wins lots of turnovers.
3-He's a right-handed shot that plays on his off-wing. What is the most interesting about him is the release on his shot. His one-timer is typical, what's different is his release on his Inside foot when he's shooting in stride (aka the Mark Messier shot)... The release is done at a different point and he really does a good job at masking he's taking a shot. It also looks very accurate.
