After months of waiting and speculation, it looks like Peter Forsberg won't be helping anyone to the Cup this year. From Yahoo Sports;

His agent, Don Baizley, told teams Forsberg did not have enough confidence in the strength of his surgically repaired right foot to play this season.

"He's been hopeful that he would get the level of confidence that he needed, but he can't," Baizley said by phone. "I don't know how close or how far away he feels. He was hopeful up until this weekend that he would be able to do it."

The frontrunners for Forsberg always seemed to be the Flyers, and it looks like they'll now have to curb their downward spiral without him. Says Sherry of Scarlet Ice;

I give Forsberg credit for being honest about the fact that he doesn't feel like he's healthy enough to return although it makes the "Where will he go?" talk over the last couple of months all for naught.

It is refreshing to see a star sit back and accept that he isn't able to perform at his highest level. He has gained respect by sitting out the rest of the season than if he came back and was at less than 100% for the remainder of the year. Heres hoping he comes back to full health, and has the chance to come back and play for someone next year.
