Don’t trust this tweet but would be interesting if true. Assuming it is true it would give me 2 thoughts. They offered the C to Tkachuk and Backlund doesn’t agree or they are signing Kadri and Backlund doesn’t want to play bottom 6. Could also be he doesn’t like Sutter?

Most likely it is pure BS
I would be fine with it being true only because I think Backlund is overpaid and is streaky. Every year he seems to take the first part of the year off. He has also been here a long time and moving him out would help change the culture of not winning. I am not sure who is lining up for him at his salary though.
