The Colorado Avalanche announced that Forsberg will begin practicing with the team starting on Saturday.

The 36-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since 2008 when he signed as a free agent with the Avalanche for their playoff run. He recorded 14 points in nine games in the regular season and five points in seven games in the playoffs that year.

Forsberg's last competitive action was with Sweden in the Vancouver Olympics. He would not need to clear waivers before signing with Colorado because he didn't play in Europe this season.


It seems like he does this on an almost anual basis, but if he's healthy he's could really help the Av's out this year. He's only 36 so its not like he's that far out his prime and its seems like he should be well rested.

So I guess the question is could help the Av's out this season if he comes back?
