Bäckström is a star in the Washington Capitals and now the team gets a new Swedish one.
- It's really fun.
I have played with him in the national team.
He is a winner and he always comes out with a desire to get better.
He takes that winning mentality with him.
He is a leader, says Bäckström.
It has been rumored that Lundqvist will come to Capitals to be the second goalkeeper, but Bäckström is not sure.
- I see it as if the goalkeeper position is quite open and that was probably what attracted Henrik as well.
This has always been the case in the Capitals, even for the outfielders, those who are the best players, he says and continues:
- We still have a good algae and now we have a new coach as well.
