And So It Begins...

TSN is reporting that Peter Forsberg has signed a deal with the Colorado Avalanche for the remainder of the season. This news comes out of left field since Forsberg's agent was letting teams know last week that his client would not be coming back. Said Forsberg:

Over the last several months, I have worked extremely hard in order for this to be possible. I am looking forward to putting this jersey on again. I have so many great memories of my playing days in Denver. I'm excited about helping my new teammates and former teammates in the coming weeks, and hopefully I am able to do that in the very near future.

Forsberg is expected to join the Avs in the coming days and be put on injured reserve for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs by early next week.
