Nicklas Bäckström's return to SHL is the biggest star return since Peter Forsberg returned to Modo in 2009.
A fully packed Monitor ERP arena will see "Bäckis" return in the SHL premiere between Brynäs and Växjö today.
After over 1,000 NHL matches and a Stanley Cup win, there is actually only one question mark.
Bäckström has not played the last two seasons when the 37-year-old rehabilitated after a hip operation.
Even if he does not play that much, he has a lot of advice and experience to give to the team, says Carina Bergjon.
Holm believes that Bäckström will succeed in Brynäs.
I have seen him a bit during the preseason and he has performed decently considering how long he has been away.
Brynäs made a success as a newcomer last season, won the regular season and made it to the SM final where it was a loss against Luleå.
The hope with Bäckström's homecoming is that it will take them all the way.
Now the chance of gold is even bigger, says Christoffer Holm.
Carina Bergjon:
He and (Jakob) Silfverberg fit together. He fits and Silfverberg scores the goals.
