Looks like he's trying to come back yet again. Hopefully he stays healthy.
Peter Forsberg, who won two Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche but has been out of the NHL since 2007-08, will practice with the team starting Saturday morning.
Forsberg's agent, Don Baizley, contacted Colorado GM Greg Sherman a couple weeks ago about the possibility that Forsberg could take part in some Avalanche practices, a team source told ESPN.com. Forsberg wanted to test his chronically injured foot and his overall conditioning and felt the only way to accurately assess this was to work out with NHL-caliber players. Given Forsberg's history with the Avalanche -- he was acquired in the blockbuster Eric Lindros trade in 1992 and began his NHL career with the franchise in Quebec City before the team moved to Denver -- it seemed a natural fit and the Avs agreed to allow the 2003 Hart Trophy winner to work out.
"Obviously, our organization has a great history, a great bond with Peter, so we want to help him find out where he's at physically," team vice president Jean Martineau told the Post.
There is no contract between Forsberg and the team.
"It's going to be OK when I quit hockey," Forsberg said in September. "I've been prepared that I might have to retire."
