The Canadiens have been searching for a number one center and feel confident Forsberg will fit that bill. We really didn't want to give up St.Louis, however, we wanted a force up the middle. Stlouis wasn't able to provide that. In addition, we haven't been able to match Martin up with the line-mates that can get him motivated on a consistent basis. We are hoping fellow Swedes Alfredsson and Forsberg will click and provide a very potent multi-threat attack.
