Going Forsberg again. Best goal scorer we've had.

 

[triggrman]

I don't see the argument for Arnott. Forsberg put up better numbers, has played here longer, and has been a great playoff performer.

 

[MrJoshua]

I think number three is pretty clearly Sullivan, although that's just my personal opinion. I think Forsberg has the potential to pass him, but he isn't there yet.

I think number three is pretty clearly Sullivan, although that's just my personal opinion. I think Forsberg has the potential to pass him, but he isn't there yet.

Just curious what puts Sully (who I love) ahead of clearly ahead of Forsberg?

 

[GoldOnGold]

Someone make the case to me for Sullivan being ahead of Forsberg, I really don't see it.

Forsberg has played 458 games, .77 points per game. Sullivan played 317 games, .83 points per game. I think the difference in points-per-game is outweighed by the difference in games.

Sullivan had some great seasons, but then he had some injury-filled seasons too.

And Sullivan was always pretty bad in the playoffs, while Forsberg has had 4 amazing runs out of the 6 playoffs he's been in.

 

[triggrman]

I'd also include that Sullivan was an established player when he got here, not a rookie from overseas, and again, I loved Sullivan.

 

[MrJoshua]

Well, the higher offensive production is what puts Sullivan ahead of Forsberg on my personal list. I think Forsberg has higher potential. I think he's a better goal scorer. I think if he continues to improve he WILL be better than Sullivan. I just don't think he's quite there yet.

That said, it's certainly close and I can see where others might disagree with me.

 

[King Weber]

Poll is now closed. Forsberg ended up as the winner. Next poll up shortly.
