Forsling -- Out of the league for a year, nobody wanted him

Forsling and Verhaege are the real gems that Zito found. The former he picked up from the waivers and has been their second best D behind Ekblad, even better than Weegar who has actually regressed this year. Verhaege signed as an UFA to a 2 x 1 million deal and is a better version of Coleman, great two-way game and has really good finish. Also should add Marchment to the list.
