Good for Forslund. The perfect way to move to a new team without alienating the Carolina faithful in any way is to go right to the brand new expansion franchise on the other side of the country. Smart man.
Other than the fact that he also tried for the Tampa job, this makes perfect sense. So, maybe not perfect sense.

He tried and either didn't get it or decided not to. Whatever the case, Pacific Carolina was the one move that made the best transitional sense.
tampa wanted a full-time person in the position, not someone they had to share with nbc. at least i have a memory of that being in an article about their opening.

it will be interesting to see what his split is between national and kraken.

But that would've been pretty neat symmetry: Rick Peckham was the longtime Whalers TV announcer (with Gerry Cheevers on color) and was replaced by Forslund in the second to last season.

I find the East Division games to be so much more watchable and entertaining over our division. It's also nice to see them defeating each other- go Buffalo & NJ. Thus far, the Central is pretty blah.

It doesn't really help the Central's cause that two of the best clubs in the division, Dallas and us, have been early quarantine victims.
