Filip Forsberg- Poe Dameron

With the release of the newest trilogy came new characters. One of these is the trigger-happy star pilot Poe Dameron. The new lead “fly boy” of the Resistance fleet certainly takes risks. But, his oft rash ideal payoff more times than not. Will his hubris catch up with him? Regardless, the Resistance is better with him on the squadron.

The same can be said for Filip Forsberg. Like Dameron, Forsberg is an excellent shot but reserves it for moment that matter. He patiently waits for the moment to come and strikes. His team leading 15 goals come off an 18.4% shooting percentage.

Forsberg is quick on the ice, maneuvering like an expert pilot in a dog-fight. If there were a player on the Nashville Predators to take the chance on a risky play, it would be Forsberg. While he may not shoot, it will make sure those around him are ready to take aim.

And, to me, Forsberg plays with confidence. It can come across as brash at times, but you will follow him into any battle.
