Ser fram emot JVM
Bäckström draftades i somras av Washington Capitals och klubben ville locka honom över Atlanten direkt. Men Bäckström gjorde tummen ner.
-Kontraktet var bra men det är ett stort steg att ta; ny stad, ny klubb och mycket annat. Jag trivs mycket bra i Brynäs och sedan ville jag vara hemma och spela i landslaget och vara med i junior-VM på hemmaplan, säger Bäckström.
När Bäckström ska ta steget över till Washington vill han inte svara på. Han håller viss kontakt med klubben.
-De har scouter som ser några av matcherna och vi pratar lite grand. Men vi har inte pratat speciellt mycket om nästa säsong.
I tried running it through an online translator (not that they're worth much), and I think it says something about how Washington has been scouting him, but they haven't talked about next season?
Looking forward to WJHC
Bäckström was drafted this summer by Washington Capitols and the club wanted to lure him over the Atlantic right away. But Bäckström gave the thumbs down.
- The contract was good but it's a big step to take; new town; new club and alot of other stuff. I'm very comfortable in Brynäs and i also wanted to stay home and play in the nationalteam and be a part of the junior-WC on homefield, says Bäckström
When Bäckström is going to take the step over to Washington he doesn't want to answer. He keeps certain contact with the club.
-They have scouts that watch some of the games and we talk a bit. But we havn't talked that much about next season.
I'm planning to use this as background info for an article I'm writing, and that article will be a blog posting after it's published. Accordingly, I need as much detail on the translation as possible.

You mean you want the entire article translated and not just a summary?
You mean you want the entire article translated and not just a summary?
If that's possible, yes.
As I said, I need this info as background for a story I'm doing for the publication in my signature, so I need to know pretty much exactly what Kahnberg had to say re: the coaching staff, the system, Peoria itself, etc.
I don't have to start writing the article until Thursday night, so there's no great rush.
Was the step from the SEL to the NHL bigger then what you though?
- No, i was very well prepared both mentally and physically. I had a good camp and was surprised when i was sent down in the last cut.
You ended up in the farm-team Peoria Rivermen in the AHL, how was that?
- It was a boring city, there was nothing to do. I've probably seen every movie in the theater that there is to see, just to walk my dog i had to take the car and go 10 minutes away.
What was the standard of the hockey?
- I didn't like the way we played hockey. It was a very strict game, we stood still and there was no speed. It was not developing for myself and after a month i just wanted out. The joy disappeared, the fun was taken out of the game.
How was the mood among the players on the team?
- They were great guys, but there you mostly play for yourself and not as a team. For example in a 2-1 players mostly shot the puck. Afterwards there were big piles of paper filled with stats which the players read to see how they had performed.
Did you and your girlfriend lived in a hotel during the entire stay?
- No, in St. Louis i lived in a guest-room in Christian Bäckman's house. When i got demoted we lived in a hotel-room for a month before moving in with a teammate in his new house in which we rented a room. Sure it was a hassle but we kept our spirits up.
Both Joel Lundqvist and Loui Eriksson has been recalled and got their chance in the NHL, couldn't you have waited a bit longer?
- I would have gotten my chance if someone on the 1st or 2nd line got injured, but it felt difficult, waiting around for an injury. If i have made a decision it doesn't matter what happens, i'm not the kind of person that regret my actions.
Have your self-confidence been lowered
- No, i know what i feel and i don't feel low. Quite the opposite, i'm very hungry now, my legs are tingling and i look forward to every game.
Have you gotten anything out of your stay in the USA?
- Everything makes you tougher, and if nothing else you know how incredibly good you have it here at home. As a hockey-player it's possible that my shot is a bit faster
Have you given up on the NHL or do you want to try again?
- Right now my mind is only on Frölunda and i'm fully focused on that. But i definitely want to play in the NHL before i retire from hockey. I know myself and know i can work there.
This is quite a literal transcript, hence it comes out quite weird at some places. Some questions/answers are weird in swedish as well.

Thank you very, very much.
It's greatly appreciated.
I'll be glad to give you credit for the translation in my article. PM me if you want me to use your real name, otherwise I'll just credit you as " 'Lion of the North,' a Swedish poster at the 'Hockey's Future' website."
Nothing special, slow news day I guess. It basically say that he could, if he plays a good tournament, get a simular rookie contract as Ovechkin and Crosby has. And if he produce as they did in their rookie season, he could, possibly end up with over $4 million US.

The columnist argues that by splitting the Dackell-Bäckström-Månsson line he took away his team's best offensive weapon and also made Bäckström and Månsson invisible in the last game. Not in this article but I know that the head coach argues that the lost offensive power was a price he could pay to get better defensive strength.
