Thanks for everything you gave this franchise Nick Backstrom. I'm still so happy you got to win a Cup in DC. It goes without saying that everyone knows you did everything you could to get back and be here. Go rest and be with your family. Your retirement ceremony someday soon will be a wet one.
Second greatest Capital of all time. Don't @ me!
Maybe some day that surgery will save a career, but for now, its not a thing. May save him from being pain free when he plays with his kids though.

defenseman Ed Jovanovski played in just 36 games after having the procedure in 2013, and forward Ryan Kesler never played again after his surgery in 2019. In his return, Backstrom played a total of 47 games before making the decision to step back from the game.
