Peter Mattias Forsberg {{Audio|sv-Peter_Forsberg.ogg|listen}} (born July 20, 1973 in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden) is a center/left wing for the Philadelphia Flyers. He played for his hometown team MODO Hockey in Sweden during the 2004 NHL Lockout, before that he was one of the top players in the NHL with the Colorado Avalanche. He planned his return to his homeland even before the current NHL labor dispute turned into a full-fledged lockout. When the NHL resolved its labor dispute he ended up signing with the Philadelphia Flyers for 11.7 million dollars over two years, turning down an offer of 13.5 million dollars over four years to play with the Colorado Avalanche.
