Peter Forsberg is one of the best players in the game. We signed him knowing that he puts us over the ($39 million) cap, and we will have to trade some guys.

He's a physical player and intimidating.

If there are going to be calls for every little nick and hold, ... it's going to be a broken game again.

He's awfully aggressive but not unnecessarily so. People aren't going to come across our blue line with their head down when he's out there.

Peter Forsberg is one of the best players in the game. We signed him knowing that he puts us over the cap and we will have to trade some guys now.

We think that this is the best player that we've had in years and years in this organization. At this time in August, we're a great team. We'll see where we are in November, but we're really, really excited to have Peter here with us, and we hope he puts the finishing touches on our team.

We've improved on defence immensely and we've improved our center ice immensely. What that translates to, I don't know.

Once we signed Forsberg, we knew we had to make a trade.
