Might seem inconsequential to some, but I think it's worth mentioning that something just seemed off with the chemistry of the roster last season.
I don't know much about Lindholm, but seems like a good kid. Having another Swede around Backlund should be good for both of them.
Neal is known around the league as a leader and a fun guy in the locker room. He also battles night in and night out for his teammates.
Hanifin is already buddies with Tkachuk and Johnny. I see him fitting right in with our core group.
Ryan is a respected veteran.
Let's hope this translates to a more cohesive team on the ice that has some more fight in them.
