 Russian league team pushing to sign Forsberg

Free Agents Peter Forsberg

The Russian team Ak Bars Kazan in recent days has made a significant push to sign former Avalanche star Peter Forsberg, attempting to steal him away from a potential NHL comeback.


According to various news reports in Sweden and Slovakia, Ak Bars Kazan, a team from the country of Tatarstan, offered a large contract to Forsberg to play in the Russian Kontinental Hockey League.

Forsberg also is being pursued by several NHL teams. Yahoo Sports reports the Philadelphia Flyers are the leading candidate to lure the former all-star back to NHL. The Washington Capitals, Montreal Cananiens and the Avalanche also have shown interest, according to Yahoo.

Forsberg had played with his hometown team Modo in the Swedish Elite League until the NHL season started on Oct. 2. Now that the NHL season has begun, if Forsberg signs a professional contract in Europe, it would keep him from returning to U.S. during the NHL regular season.

Forsberg also said he will play for the Swedish national hockey team in the upcoming Karjala Cup.
