Mattias Forsberg entered the VHLM in a big surprise. With the announcement that fellow Swedish center would be retiring, Banackock's agency went on the prowl to find a new player to represent the agency who has seen some fairly good success with players.

The buzz is all about Las Vegas an of course, everyone wants to do good. Though, he isn't overly unhappy to be in Oslo either. Through his first 2 games, he's netted one goal, 14 shots and is rocking a 67.57% in the face off dot.
