NHL pulling players back

Daniel Alfredsson is going back to Ottawa, PJ (Pebben) Axelsson will play again in a Bruins jersey, Henrik Lundqvist is in New York. But we still may keep some NHL stars here in Sweden. The Indians may get to keep Samuel Påhlsson who has not accepted the qualifying offer from the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and is keeping his options open. Sami Salo may stay as well, he likes living closer to his native Finland and enjoys living in Gothenburg, but his blueline partner, Christian Bäckman, is almost certainly going back to St. Louis. A very different team will hit the ice this year.
