I am super confident Backlund will stay, assuming he's not uber-lowballed. I'm convinced he's a lifer. Been here 15 years. Plus I doubt other teams offer him what Calgary might, at age 35 when his contract is up.

The others, not so much. It's a business to these guys now. And Lindholm has seen three linemates with whom he had chemistry leave, all under kind of stressful situations. He's only been here 4 and a half years - less time than with Carolina. This is his chance for (a) a payday and (b) to choose where he wants to play.

Hanifin also is gonna get paid a lot by someone. He will only be what - 27 at UFA time? Probably would love Boston.
