Since joining the Nashville Predators in 2013, Filip Forsberg has put up 131 goals and 277 points in 357 games. He has also scored at least 26 goals in his past four seasons, and also adding 14 goals in his 26 games prior to his injury in late November.
The 24-year-old winger has been among the league’s elite, and the fact that he’s still young is insane, especially compared to what the Washington Capitals got in return for this budding superstar.
The main piece of the trade, Martin Erat, played in 62 games over two seasons scoring just two goals and 25 assists totaling just 27 points as a Washington Capital.
