QOTD: Trade Game - What is Forsberg worth?

As the Flyers continue to play pathetic hockey, I think it may be time to pull the plug on the season. Some will say that it is far too early, but with just 7 points in 12 games the Flyers will need to play .629 hockey the rest of the way to finish with 95 points (which is likely the number needed to get them into the playoffs). That would be a record somewhere along the lines of 36-26-8.

Can you see this Flyers team getting points in all but 26 of their remaining games? I can't.

So today's question is what could the Flyers get in a trade for Peter Forsberg?

Teams that I could see making a run at him include:

Calgary
Ottawa
Anaheim
Vancouver
Atlanta

Some of those teams would need to clear out cap room but all would be interesting destinations. Colorado would be another team to throw into the mix, where he would be welcomed back with open arms and would make the Avs a team that nobody would want to meet in the playoffs (if they can solve their goaltending problems).

What do you think the Flyers could get in return for one of the best players in the world?
