I don’t think he will play a lot of games for us. I doubt it. He's the new Cole as far as I can tell.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post boziffous Posted July 1 Popular Post Share Posted July 1 Forbort has averaged over 3 minutes per game on the PK in each of his last 3 seasons with the Bruins and led the Jets in PK time played in his only season with them in 2020/21. He regularly played over 2 minutes per game on the PK in his time with the Kings as well. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindholm, McAvoy, and Carlo had more PK minutes than him. Then you had Peeke who averaged more PK minutes, if he played a full season with Boston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forbort averaged 3 minutes per game in 35 games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneyMiller Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) 26 minutes ago, -AJ- said: Cole replacement. He's more than a Cole replacement because Forbort actually is tough and fights where as Cole didn't have that in him and I feel like Forbort is better net front and gets around a bit better. Forbort will help with the big physical loss of Big Z. Edited July 1 by MoneyMiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because he sucked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 2 minutes ago, HKSR said: Forbort didn't play a full season due to injuries. Not because he sucked. Quote Before going under the knife, Derek Forbort became a prime target of scrutiny from some of the fanbase. Working through a nagging lower-body injury, Forbort’s defensive production took a nosedive during his third season in Boston. Upon returning from his first absence out of the lineup, Forbort saw himself on the ice for multiple goals against at 5v5 and the penalty kill. His reliability in front of the net and stout shorthanded production became sore spots as the Bruins struggled with their net-front coverage and game-management mishaps coming out of the All-Star Break. On March 8, the struggling Forbort opted for surgery to repair his lower-body ailment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Forbort is a great value signing for the 3rd pair. Big, tough, kills penalties and should be cheap. I’ve been saying him for awhile. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourHuckleberry Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) Forbort has the highest meme potential next year. Will he soar to the heights of Cowan the Brabarian and Rory Fitzpatrick, or will he sink to depths of Loui?

The Duke Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (Forbort also makes sense if we’re trying to find a stronger RD - which we’ve been sniffing at for awhile now.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pissed about z still but I’ve liked the forward signings. Debrusk a little too much but expected.
