But on the other hand it represents his trade record.he represents Jim Bo's draft record if he stays in the NHL
Had to bump. One of the better waiver pick ups in years in the league.
Funny reading in here too that Q destroyed his development in Chicago while in Florida he was the man who helped him turn it around
He's been a great two-way dman, with great wheels for us
76 games
6 goals
30 assists
36 points
+37
Since Panthers picked him up
Q’s doesn’t (didn’t) develop players. He wants ready to go. Forsling wasn’t ready the 1st time.Had to bump. One of the better waiver pick ups in years in the league.

Chicago and Carolina would probably regret punting him alsoBenning traded him for Clendening lmao
Those other teams at least had him in their organization playing for them. So they saw him up close and worked directly with him.Chicago and Carolina would probably regret punting him also
Yeah, he probably has 100 “3rd” assists, as he often starts the play that ends in a goal with a nice outlet pass or by carrying it into the zone himself.Surprised he only has 36 points it seems like he scores a lot more, hes always involved in the play great player
zito in one year signed him, gudas, traded for montour, re-signed weegar to a sweet-heart deal. oh and acquired Nutivarra who is another serviceable dman that has been hurt.
then consider signing carter v, duclair, trading matheson for hornqvist, acquiring sam reinhart and bennett. easy gm of the year imo.
Surprised Carolina never used him when they had him. Organizational bias towards "their own guys" the case here, as Fleury and Bean got all the chances, while Forsling never did.
I always hated the Canucks trading Forsling,
it was more of the guy never looked special while here. He didn’t do anything particularly well. He didn’t do anything particularly bad either. He didn’t blow anyone away with his AHL time either. I wanted him to get a couple of games because i thought he looked better in preseason games but that is just likely a dumb fan liking the backup QB kind of a thing. Seeing how frustrated Rod and Co were with fleury, i highly doubt it was an our guy bias. Especially when that group didn’t draft either guy.Surprised Carolina never used him when they had him.

I have long since forgiven them... since two other teams gave up on him. Realistically, even if they didn't trade him, his career trajectory would have led to a waiver claim anyway. Not much can be done about that, some players really do just figure it out too late to be kept, or blossom after a change of scenery...I always hated the Canucks trading Forsling, felt like they had found something there in the late rounds... turns out they did but then immediately moved him for 'win now' help the second he started showing value.
One of the best waiver claims I can remember in awhile.
Funny enough the Canucks did put Jacob Markstrom on waivers at one point but no one took him, could've been another I suppose. Alas what a move this has turned into for Florida. Great player.
Another Jim Benning special. Guy was truly elite (at being effing awful). What’s Adam Clendenning doing these days?
