Phoenix welcome Forsberg with open arms, he really gives some fire power on the first line. Shame he costs 8mil and is a UFA! Washingon sees Ohlund and Linden have 26pts between them and should be able to keep Washington in the hunt for the playoffs! They also gain more depth and a soild backup in Brent Johnson which they need badly!!! deal seems good all round!!

Washington is really sad to see Peter go, but we think that Ovechkin can now take over the #1 center role, because of his stellar play this year. Henrik is also expected to move up, and play with brother Daniel. Linden is expected to move back to his original position(RW), and play on the top line. Edler gives then a solid prospect in the future to work with, but they are very sad to see Bourque leave. Peter was also a up and coming ufa this year, and there would have been little hope he would have stayed as a Capital.

Washington accepts.
