I remember thinking Forsling looked pretty good in Chicago, in a somewhat limited role on a bad team, at least when I caught glimpses of him. It's not like he was bad there. I dunno why they parted ways with him, but they let many good young players go (Teräväinen, et cetera) after the mini-dynasty years, so perhaps just misguided management.

It's also not like Forsling has been a clear-cut #1D two-way horse in Florida the last two years, though he's been logging the most TOI in the playoffs, but Montour's taking most of the offensive assignments.

Wasn’t a lot of it just a matter of cap space? I remember when the Canes traded for Teravainen, everyone understood Chicago was giving away a good player for meh picks, but they didn’t have a way to hold on to him and were just trying to get whatever they could in return.
