I understand that they respected the ask from Lindholm, who basically said that if they were going to try him at C, he was willing but wanted 10-12 games.
At the same time, I thought that moving Backlund to the wing was obviously getting less out of him than they should have been.
Good to see them recognize the obvious
Also, some adjustments suggested by players were implemented by the coaches and are showing near term results.
Might the coach coming out and admitting they made adjustments finally throw cold water on the “It’s not on the coaches, the players just don’t want to put in the effort” narrative? I have my doubts
