On Peter Forsberg.

Barring a brief work visa issue, Peter Forsberg of Sweden will be back for another round with the Colorado Avalanche to give his NHL career one last legitimate shot.

For US$1 million, the Avalanche can't really go wrong with this play-off push acquisition. The 37-year-old will bring a new buzz to the Colorado fan-base and if he can finish the regular season healthy and if there is a post-season for the Avalanche then who wouldn't want Foppa's services?

According to nhl.com Forsberg has 171 points in 151 play-off appearances and has a plus-54 rating- not to mention he also owns two Stanley Cup rings and is also a former recipient of both of the prestigious Art Ross and Hart trophies.

This is all sounds like the signing was a no-brainer for Colorado but the down-side is that Forsberg has been in-and-out of the NHL because of injuries to his feet, ankles and groin.

I don't blame Foppa for giving it one last shot and I commend him for playing for a meager $1 million (sad as that makes me to write out) but I have strong intuitions that his come-back will be short-lived once more.

Players often force themselves to believe their injuries are gone when in reality they are in no position to play at 100 percent.

I truly believe Forsberg is eying this opportunity with his glass half-full but as I said before, I don't blame him. The Avalanche is his go-to team, the people of Colorado love him there and the Avalanche are within reach of the eighth play-off spot.

I will put a positive spin on his return though in thinking that he may be able to find some chemistry with struggling teammate, Chris Stewart.

Stewart has been lacking since returning from his own injury and perhaps being put on a line with Forsberg may re-ignite the brilliant start to the season that Stewart had for the Avalanche.

I hope Forsberg's return on Wednesday in Minnesota (assuming his work visa is in order) ends well but if my intuitions are accurate then a million dollars will just be an after-thought next year for Colorado.
