Forsberg to play in Sweden

Peter Forsberg is trying to come back…again. He signed a one-week (quite a commitment) contract with team MoDo in Sweden.

“I’ve felt good recently and I’m ready to go,” Forsberg told Modo online. “I’ve made six or seven comebacks, so why not make another one?

“No, seriously, I’ve been working hard this summer and I have had a major surgery. That’s why I want to give it a try.”

He’s hoping to sign a contract with an NHL team before October 1st. If he plays in Europe past that date then he can’t play in the NHL regular season.

Forsberg has chronic foot problems and has a penchant for surgery. It would be amazing if he stayed healthy for more than a few weeks.
