Nicklas Bäckström has returned to Sweden after spending his entire adult life in the USA and on NHL rinks. He is reportedly ready for his first SM playoff in 19 years. According to reports, Bäckström said this was one of the reasons he came home.
He scored 30 points in the regular season. There were reportedly enormous expectations on Bäckström when he was presented for Brynäs this summer, and it is unclear if the hopes were too high or if he felt unreasonable pressure to deliver.
