Not the Back end and i don't believe the entire team has a culture change with a new coach. There are way to many nice guys on the flames. Its starting to remind me off the country club years.
It's not that i want Backlund off the team, but if some players need to be changed there isn't a long list of players you can change. Don't see Johnny and Monny going anywhere. I would kill someone if they traded Tkachuk. Janko is a good young 3rd line center ona cheap contract , i wouldnt trade him. You can't get #### for the 4th line players. It kind of leaves Backlund, Bennet and Ferland. (Brouwer is untradeable).
I'll also admit someone posted a trade suggestion of Brodie for Kadri and it got me thinking that i would rather have Kadri as the 2nd line center over Backlund. Granted that will probably never happen.
