Backlund update

Garth MacBeth, who keeps an eye on the European scene for us, has an update on the Mikael Backlund situation:
“Västerås' website is reporting today that Mikael Backlund is staying
in Canada. The article says that the Calgary Flames informed the club around lunchtime in Sweden today (which would be around 4 a.m. Calgary time, 6 a.m. Ottawa time) that they have recalled Backlund from assignment to Västerås. It also goes on to quote Backlund after Monday night's game: ‘I will learn (Tuesday) from Calgary where they want me to
play.’ ”
It is expected that Backlund, 19, a world-class forward who played for Sweden at the World Junior Championship in Ottawa, will be joining the Kelowna Rockets.
