Fantasy Analysis
The Avs brought Forsberg back by re-signing him on Feb. 25, and he had 14 points in nine games as they rallied for a spot in the playoffs. The former Hart Trophy winner has 171 points in 150 playoff games and helped Colorado win the Stanley Cup in 2001 and 1996. There is no telling at this juncture if he will return in 2008-09, but if he does, he will be a big-time injury-risk sleeper on Draft Day 2008. (Updated 04/24/2008).
