ha that would be awesome but the smart money from the whole Oilers situation is that Broberg would fit the bill.Ty Emberson
Anton StralmanWho was Forsling before Forsling?
I can't really think of anyone that is that similar (low-level player that has immediate high-level impact that leads to a cup), which suggest it's unlikely there will be a 'next'.
I'll see your Broberg and raise you one Ty Emberson.Filip Broberg

Giordano was undrafted and then just another guy through his 20s. Kind of just went bananas in his early 30s.Who was Forsling before Forsling?

Broberg was a top 10 pick.I would love for it to be Broberg.
But I could definitely see Perunovich going to a different team next season and having everything finally click.
Cup winning circumstances are definitely fairly unique for Forsling, but plenty of guys have muddled along before really breaking out as important minute munching defensemen.
I don't remember Duncan Keith being that great in his first couple of years in Chicago before breaking out with the Toews and Kane teams, though he didn't switch teams. The Alec Martinez, Jake Muzzin two pack came out of nowhere in the Kings system to win them a cup in 2011 and 2013 separately. I think Muzzin started off in the Penguins system. Brian Dumoulin with the Penguins in the 2010s after coming over from Carolina. Other random guys off the top of my head, Jeff Petry and Mike Matheson went from being completely unremarkable to important guys on the Habs. No cup win there though.
