Why the Preds, Peter...why?!

Anyone who knows me...or who reads this blog knows how much I hate the Preds. So it shouldn't come as a shock to you that I'm not a fan of this trade one bit. Granted that yes in future years it will help the Flyers...and having Forsberg on their line up will help the Preds. I really feel bad for the Flyers team as a whole though. They lost their captain...pretty much the heart and soul of their team. (I say that because the Flyers have yet to win a game without Peter Forsberg in the line up) I feel bad for the fans. I heard a trade rumor that Adam Foote could leave Columbus and I was just heartbroken. The guy on the ice that wears the C wears it for a reason. He is the leader. Congrats to Nashville on the trade...however I think they gave up too much...Scottie Upshall, Ryan Parent, a FIRST round draft pick, and a third round draft pick. Seems like a little much for a rental player...who you have no guarantee that the man is playing at his full potential. They are throwing it all in there. If they don't get it this year, Nashville will have to start rebuilding I think....and who wants to do that?! Anyway, its late...I gotta go to bed...night all.
