He’s come a long way from being a 5th round pick who was waived twice. The term may be a bit long for his age, but the cap hit is a bargain for a top-pair guy, and he was a bit of a late bloomer so maybe he’ll be a late fader.
Guys like Forsling are exactly why waivers exists. Carolina had the foresight to trade for him, but no room for him on their roster. I just checked his career stats and I was surprised to see that he never played a game for Carolina. I thought he had gotten into a few as an injury call-up. Maybe I'm confusing him with the other guy they got in that trade, Anton Forsberg. What a steal that trade was for Carolina, if only they knew what they had. They were really just trying to free up cap space.
