Don't think we'll see border travel shut down like that again during their hockey careers. I don't think it will be an issue.
It's just interesting to see 5/6 UFAs exit with Backlund likely joining them without the offer of captaincy.
The outlook of the team probably factored in more than fears instilled by covid, but funny enough if the UFA d-men stuck around this group probably remains competitive.
They were chugging along pretty well. They just needed to drop Lindholm who was a hindrance to the offense.
