Peter Forsberg’s one-year, pro-rated contract with the Colorado Avalanche comes complete with a no-trade, no-movement clause, according to the Denver Post. For those who thought that the Avs might turn No. 21 into trade bait at the deadline in a few weeks, you’ll have to reconsider your theory.
Peter Forsberg Contract With Avalanche Has No-Trade Clause
Well, unless you’re beat writer Adrian Dater at that Denver Post.
The Avs are playing some of the worst hockey I’ve ever seen this team play. So the fact that Forsberg, as I learned today, has a no-trade, no-movement clause is interesting. I went over this theory before, and while I think it’s unlikely, it’s intriguing.
Maybe Forsberg could be the trade bait the Avs could use at the Feb. 28 deadline. Maybe the Avs are so far out of it at that point, and maybe Foppa is playing well regardless, to the point where he goes to management and says “You know what, if you want to deal me to a contender, a team that I wouldn’t mind playing for, see if you can get a good price for me. That way, I get to go play more hockey beyond April and you guys can use whatever you get in trade to rebuild this crumbling team again.”
He even mentioned the word rebuild. Jump in the conversation at Mile High Hockey and ask if they agree with Dater’s assessment.
