Filip Forsberg unsure if he will remain with organization this off-season
The Nashville Predators season came to an end at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche after a four game sweep ended their season Monday night. Superstar forward Filip Forsberg was non-committal about his future with the team beyond this season, although he has stated his desire to remain in Nashville.
I've said that since day one - the goal is to come back here, and the business side is completely different than the on-ice side, as you guys are aware of, and just kind of have to wait and see and play it out. There has been obviously some progression throughout the season from where we started in September, and me and my agent and [Predators General Manager] David [Poile] and [Predators Assistant General Manager] Brian [Poile] and the management - there's going to be an ongoing conversation in the process, and we'll just have to see where we end up.
Forsberg continued on to say, he wants to win in Nashville:
I've been fortunate enough to be on this team for a long time now and made the playoffs every year, but at the same time, every player plays to win the Stanley Cup, and so do I. That's my biggest goal, and I do believe that we have a team that can make that in the future. I think that's the direction that a team has to be heading, and I think we are.
Forsberg, 27, had 84 points in just 69 games, (42 goals, 42 assists.) But only time will tell if he stays with the Preds long term.
