Yes but no. Ovi is lowkey about it/not wanting a spectacle so much that I could see him not really minding that.
Like he is probably legitimately unsure and might just decide on a random day in May that hes done

I want him back for another year but I also want Barry Sanders to un-retire 🤷♂️

I also think he’s gonna come back next season especially cause I doubt he wants to go out not making the playoffs. Also I feel like he would want at least his family in attendance to the game regardless if they do any on ice stuff for him.

He’s to close to the all time career goals to retire

I know he doesn’t want any big fanfare, but it would be quite weird if Backström/Carlson weren’t attending his final game (although Carlson now depends on his own schedule). I’d also imagine Oshie and Kuznetzov would want to be there too.

That’s actually a valid point.
Most convincing argument I’ve heard.
Edit: I miss Backy so much.
