Forsberg update

Peter Forsberg has recovered from his recent surgery and is now practising with hometown team Modo. Forsberg feel no pressure to sign with any team, and want to be 100% before he even considers returning to play hockey full-time. Pierre McGuire of TSN has stated that the Swedish players on the Detroit Red Wings have really pushed for Forsberg to join them, but Forsberg still hasn't made up his mind.

Bryan Berard has not signed a contract with the New York Islanders, but is close to a contract. GM Garth Snow may try to trade one of their young defenseman, such as Freddy Meyer, to make room for Berard. There has been some speculation that the Boston Bruins may be involved. Source

Josef Melichar has signed with Linköpings HC in Sweden. Melichar had been playing with HC Ceské Budejovice in the Czech Republic, but it was only temporary as he was hoping he could sign with an NHL or bigger European team. Source
