How underrated is Filip Forsberg?

[SeanMoneyHands]

Career highs for Forsberg this year. 47 goals, 93pts. He’s a Daniel Alfredsson lite. He's been consistent year to year and has a solid 2 way game. Again, he reminds me of Daniel Alfredsson, just more physical as Forsberg can hit and plays with an edge.

Liked him since his draft year, purely on his last name. Peter Forsberg was my favourite player growing up.

Filip turned out to be a beauty.

 

[hamzarocks]

His peak year was 2021/2022

This year his second best

If he was more consistent he would be in discussion for top 5ish winger

He is a top 15 winger overall due to down years usually after elite ones

Forsberg is gently sauteeing several hamlets. Thank you for your service Martin Erat/Michael Latta.

Fantastic year for him, and amped to have him.

 

[tarheelhockey]

He has a pretty good shot at a 400-goal career. Definitely one of the more underrated players of his generation.

For every Caps fan, he will forever be known for one of the worst trade deadline deals ever — a young, talented Forsberg for Marty Erat.

 

[NoName]

He is at the heart of a surprisingly competent Predators team.

 

[MajorWeber]

Best trade ever for the Preds.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Best trade ever for the Preds.

Agreed. The Caps got hosed.

In general I feel pretty underrated. But I've followed him since he came in the league, I've always been a fan. Didn't see him reaching this level though to be honest.

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

I thought everyone had him rated as stop 15 winger.

Has to be on every worst trades of all time list. Erat played 62 games for the Capitals, scored 2 goals.

Forsberg is a goal scorer but doesn’t bring much else to the table. But yea for him finally being healthy so people can think he is overrated.

He gets bigs numbers because the Preds have nothing else.

This sounds really bitter.

48Goals. Monster season. Mediocre players don't put up 48 goals and lead the next best foward on the team by 19 points.

He is spectacular, stacking high light reels. Skilled big guy that beats opponents one on one like stealinh candy from kids.

Forsberg has a strong even if not elite defensive game.

 

[Puckstop40]

He’s almost as good as Martin Erat.

 

[Leksand]

He’s 2.8 underrated.

Is this a joke?

I see what you did.
I am watching you

This guy has never watched Forsberg

key word is CAREER highs after 12 years in the nhl. HE is a very good player and have a great break out year. The key to his success this year he has finally stayed healthy. Last 7 years he has missed an average of about 12 games per year(he missed 32 last year and that sticks out so I ignore that). HE was considered a steal within him playing ten games with the preds. He is not underrated he is what he is. He is a sure shot 30 to 35 goal man a year when healthy

nope--he is a lesser version of Kurri in how he sees the ice. If Forsberg played with McDavid he would be an 70 goal scorer. HE is a good two way player--not great but good

Mr. Saros would disagree.

 

[GRob83]

I attended Capitals prospect development camp in 2012 and he was the most skilled player there. McPhee should have been not only fired, but forced to return every cent the Capitals ever paid him and complete 10,000 hours of community service for giving him up in the worst trade in NHL History.

 

[Reddawg]

Agreed. The Caps got hosed.

The Caps hosed themselves, on the day it happened everyone not named George McPhee knew it was a huge mistake.
