from the article:

“It’s been great fun,” Backstrom said, as translated via Google Translate. “I had no expectations before the year. The guys have been great. The reason I came home is because I love the sport, and because I want to play hockey. I’m incredibly grateful to Brynäs for giving me the chance to do it.”

Backstrom also broached the topic of his future playing career and whether the one season back in his homeland would be his last.

“It’s a tough question right now,” Backstrom said. “We have to evaluate, and then we’ll see what the management wants. Then it remains to be seen. Now I’m just going home to my family.”

  1. Maybe Backy should re-sign with the caps for veteran league minimum this summer and have one last ride with Ovi.

  2. Backstrom was the best caps player in franchise history. Gods we could use prime backy rn

  3. And Kuzy carried his team to the next round in the KHL playoffs. Go get John Carlson in the offseason along with these two mighty ducks style
