Reports: Flyers agree to deal Forsberg to PredatorsThe Philadelphia Flyers have agreed to trade Peter Forsberg to the Nashville Predators for Scottie Upshall, Ryan Parent and two draft picks, according to a reports by Canada's TSN and the Philadelphia Daily News on Thursday night.

TSN cited unidentified sources in its report and reported the deal has not yet been approved by the league.

Forsberg was a healthy scratch for the Flyers' game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Forsberg will be a free agent at the end of this season and has had lingering issues with his right foot. Forsberg has visited with doctors around the globe to find out why his foot hasn't felt right in his skate, the health issue mostly responsible for keeping him out 16 games this season.

But since Forsberg returned from an All-Star break trip to visit a specialist in Sweden, he's playing like his old self. He has two goals and eight assists in eight games since the break and 38 points in 39 games overall this season, showing his foot may at last be stable.

its alright i guess....its not gonna make this season better or worse

Yep.....it's a trade. I don't honestly know too much about Nashville's team. But I'm sure getting Forsberg won't hurt any.

right now if the season ended, Nashville would win the President's Trophy...they're fast as hell, move the puck well, and have some stellar goaltending

that's the one pisser with the new schedule, we don't get to see the Western Conference...

not to mention he could end up being on the same line as Paul Kayria

huh what.... I haven't watched much hockey this year... the flyers have sucked too much...

They Finally get rid of Bobby Clarke, and they fir the guy that coulda actually gotten them out of the rut (hitchcock)

This has been the first season ... I havnt watch the Flyers... When I watch its wierd watching the other team beating us... with our old players... I dont know whats wrong with the franchise but Im just unenthused at this point about hockey... O and my big TV broke.

With how bad the Flyers are this year, hockey pretty much hasn't existed for me. Sorry to see Forsberg go, but it needed to be done.

[Sack of Chisels]

This makes Nashville even more capable to have a serious playoff run... but if they don't win a cup, Philly will get the better end of this deal because Foppa's gonna go right back come june.

As shitty of a franchise as Philly is at least they did the right thing an traded him to a cup contender.
