Gus has been what Hawks fans said he was-a headache in the D zone, not the greatest skater, scary pinches, scary passes. Supposed to be pretty good on the PP though......

From most Kings fans and media, it sounds like the kings were forcing Forbort on Doughty, not necessarily that he was the best partner for Doughty. Think Chris Butler Calgary era.
I think Forbort is decent and I’d like a player like that in the lineup but it can’t be more than on the third pairing and the cap hit can’t be more than $1.5 million. You can’t pay third pairing guys $2 million or more.
