How The Nashville Predators Robbed the Washington Capitals
On April 3rd, 2013, the Washington Capitals sent 2012 first round pick Filip Forsberg to the Nashville Predators for Martin Erat and Michael Latta, and in turn, allowed the Preds to steal away one of the most prolific scorers in the league.
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.
