From 93/94 season until now, I have never seen anyone like him in the nhl. A shame we didn't get to enjoy him a few hundred games more.

He acted like the world revolved around him and never submitted himself to the team. That was why he never got far, even as injuries took a toll. That's why he never won championships - save for an Olympic gold, where he was a minor player.

Peter Forsberg was a play-making freak, probably the best hockey mind from 95-05 but Lindros was also a great goalscorer and physical hockey player worthy mentioning. <br /><br />But really, Forsbergs talent and execution in periods is superior to Lindros and Sakic.
