Ah yes - I knew there was a reason to doubt it.
The Forsberg thing is interesting - there was a blog posted by someone about Forsberg and how the organization had soured on him.
There were concerns even before the draft of how Forsberg's game would translate to the NHL level - probably why he dropped. That coupled with him being dealt less than a year later for underwhelming return makes me believe there's something to it.
The 2012 was very weak on offensive players so if Forsberg had offensive upside for the NHL I don't think he would have dropped.
The 2012 draft is going to turn out to be really cruddy IMHO.
