He's Back...? Remix

All of the signs are pointing to it. I don't want to call it official, but I'm going to be very shocked if it doesn't happen. I've felt this way all along, and it's only a matter of time before it gets done. The Bionic Man will be a Flyer again.

Think about it:

- Holmgren's "secret" scouting trip to Sweden. The Flyers kept that under wraps for about five minutes.

- Forsberg always maintaing he loved Philadelphia and felt like he owes the team something.

- His great relationships with current Flyers such as Gagne and Scott Hartnell.

- Naslund's comments about how he's returning to a former team, with Nashville being ruled out.

- Gagne's "joke" about Forsberg trying to decide which number to wear since Jason Smith has #21.

- The Flyers ordering special equipment for skates and ankle/foot health.

Again, it's not a sure thing yet. I'm not Mark Eckel. Peter Forsberg may not be a Flyer by the time you wake up in the morning. LeCharles Bentley likely won't be either. However, when it's all said and done, I think Forsberg will be a Flyer, and it's going to take some press conference shenanigans coaching from Kevin Jones or Antonio Logan-El for us to be fooled.

Take it for what it's worth. Likely not much.
