Peter Forsberg is hanging out in Sweden during the off-season, but he is reportedly planning to come back to the NHL for the upcoming season.  Most people tend to think that Forsberg will return to the Avalanche, but I wouldn’t count out teams like the Flyers or even the Rangers.  Peter Forsberg’s return to the NHL last season was cut short by injuries and a short playoff run with Colorado, but during his time he was on pace for over a 100 point season (had he played the entire season).  Check back for updates on the Peter Forsberg NHL return saga.

According to TSN, Joe Sakic has signed a 1 year deal with the Colorado Avalanche. Sakic was an unrestricted free agent, although he wouldn’t consider playing anywhere but for Colorado. Sakic has played his entire career with the Avalanche/Nordiques and has been the captain of the team for both of their Stanley Cup victories. Here is what Super Joe had to say about his return:

“Ultimately it came down to the fact that I still enjoy playing and competing,” said Sakic. “I’m comfortable with my conditioning and my overall health. I’m ready for the start of camp and am looking forward to the upcoming season.”

The video of Patrick Roy’s son, Jonathan Roy fighting another goalie and a player last season made hockey highlight reels across the North America.  Roy came out and fought Bobby Nadeau of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens and beat the other goaltender even after it was clear that Nadeau had given up.  Now Jonathan Roy will face one assault charge stemming from the fight.  The assault charge was filed on July 31, 2008 in Saguenay, Quebec.  Roy will not serve any jail time from the assault charge, but more than likely will be put on probation and will have to serve community service.  More details will be added as they are known, but here is the video of the fight.
