Hope everything is okay for him and his family.


Our PK will suffer possibly. Back end looking v thin.

You have to wonder if management got buyer’s remorse and asked him to either leave or get waived.

I hope that’s the case and he is not going through real personal issues. Best of luck to him.

I highly, highly doubt the first fact.

Hopefully Forbort and his loved ones are okay.

Seems unlikely to me given how he's been deployed and how thin we are on the left side.

Not in the PAP but just very to do this without a statement. The speculation will run hard until it’s addressed.

Very unexpected. Hope everything is okay for him and his family.

How does leaving a team for personal reasons affect cap or roster? I’m assuming it doesn’t and he is still technically on the active roster and against the cap?

Yes it sounds like he will still technically be on the roster and count against the cap. The only other thing the Canucks could possibly do is tell him to pound sand and suspend him without pay for not showing up, but sounds like there is a legitimate issue that the Canucks want to be considerate/work with him

If he's not in the PAP then it is a private matter that is up to him to disclose or not. There is no need for speculation or for it to be addressed further unless it turns into something long term which seems doubtful.
