Oh, I agree! I'm all for remaining friends, lol. I just want to make sure that they remain on pleasant terms is all - aka, they're not already at each other's throats, lol. I don't need an off-ice romance, haha
And I edited my above comment to reflect that bc I definitely did not mean that I'm hoping for an off-ice romance, haha. I'm strictly concerned about their potential to do well together on the ice; and to subsequently hopefully have a healthy relationship - aka, generally get along with one another.
It's really none of my business what they decide anyway, I was just tempted to say that because of all the drama that happened last time! I was thinking it might be safer that this new Russian team stay friends and not become a romantic couple.
But as we're finding out at the end of this season with all the partner changes in Russia & Canada, you never know what the future will hold.
