He's... not coming back?

That's why TSN is reporting.

I can't believe it. Everything looked like it was going so well, but if his foot's not right, it's not right.

This is a huge blow for the Flyers. I don't know if they were "counting" on him, but they definitely knew Forsberg coming back would bolster the lineup. With the way the injuries look now, I'm not sure where the spark is going to come from.

Hopefully for the NHL, Forsberg gives it another shot this offseason. He's always said that if he doesn't come back now he's done forever, but maybe he's still open to coming back later, since he was hoping for a multi-year deal. Every time he stepped on the ice he was probably the most talented guy out there, and it's a shame if he's retiring.
