He got more then enough chances last year to show what he could do
How exactly was he not properly used here? He was backup behind one of the best goalies in NHL
Then when given chance to be guy when that goalie went out he failed miserably
When the Hawks knew the season was over and they had no chance of making the playoffs Forsberg should have been forced to play the season out as the #1. It was a chance to give him more game experience and force him to deal with the ups and downs (more downs than up for him) of an NHL season.
He has shown that he is past the AHL and ready for the NHL or back to Europe.
Giving all those games to Jeff Glass who the Hawks had no intent on resigning was a waste of game experience just given away. It would have been better to give Forsberg and Delia those games instead of Glass and Berube. Glass played 15 games if those were given to Forsberg he would have played 50 games. Even if he would have blown up every game he would have got more experience and the team would have had a higher draft pick. Could have had Zadina...not that Boqvist isn't a great pick up.
If he was still in the plans and Glass wasn't then the games should have been given to somebody who was in the plans.
