Nashville is in a weird position with Forsberg since they’ve been one of the better teams in the league so far and while they’re reportedly actively engaged in extension talks, it’s likely he does not sign long term and they lose him for nothing at the end of the year.
Swapping him with another similarly good player makes sense but I don’t think this is the deal that makes the most sense.
The deal would have to include a team trying to make a playoff push with a lesser player potentially on a rookie deal going back to Nashville.
I’m not suggesting this but a team like the Rangers and a player like Kaapo Kakko for Filip Forsberg deal would be in the scope of what could work.
