Backland’s rumoured to one of the players at odds with Sutter? Where’s this coming from?
It’s practically publicly acknowledged that Kadri and Sutter aren’t on the same page, same with Huberdeau. There’s been some acknowledgment from the Steinberg that the Flames don’t have a good indication on what Lindholm is thinking, so it seems people are putting two and two together and think Lindholm isn’t inclined to resign if Sutter is the coach.
I haven’t heard or seen any rumours about Backlund though. On the topic of Stienberg he did mention that Backliund said to him he has no interest in leaving the Flames at their poker tournament and the contract terms I laid out are basically his thoughts as well.
