Nicklas Bäckström left Växjö and the season with the news that his future with the team is uncertain. Sportchef Johan Alcén was clearer when evaluating the year's biggest signing in the SHL. Alcén reportedly said he is extremely satisfied with Bäckström as a player, teammate, person, and leader in the team.
At the end of July, Alcén presented Bäckström on a 1+1 year contract, and he now hopes the plus year will be realized. Alcén had the roles of sportchef, presschef, and travel leader after Brynäs's exit in Växjö. The team gathered briefly together in the locker room before a quick shower for further travel home with a chartered plane and bus on Maundy Thursday night.
