Re: Filip Forsberg owners - you probably should read this (Schwartz owners too)

The main reason I would disagree, is actually one of the reasons that you think he may have peaked, and that is Mike Ribeiro. Without Ribeiro, his OZ% would surely head down to a more realistic 60% zone, however that is manageable, especially when 1) he is so dominant off the rush, and 2) he doesn't have to drag Ribeiro around. Watching Nashville games, there is a clear driver (FF) and a clear anchor on that line (MR). I agree, I'm not sure that Forsberg has that 85 point level, but I do think he can get up to a 70-75 point, kind of pace in the next two seasons.
The Schwartz section of it I agreed with 100% he does not get enough credit, has lots of room to grow, and should be bought as soon as possible.
As always, thanks for the hard work on those cage matches, they are an eye opening read every time.
I agree with all 3 parts here! Well said EB!
