Magnus Pääjärvi on arvostellut avoimesti omaa peliään vaikean Timrå-kauden jälkeen. 35-vuotias hyökkääjä sai tililleen vain kaksi syöttöpistettä 52 ottelussa.
Sundsvalls Tidningin haastattelussa NHL-konkari kuvaili kauttaan suoraan. Hän totesi kauden olleen täysin surkea ja vertasi sitä Edmontonin-vuosiensa haastavaan jaksoon. Pääjärvi totesi, että vaikeat ajat johtavat usein peliajan vähenemiseen, mikä synnyttää negatiivisen kierteen, josta on vaikea päästä eroon.
