Either way all of this is interesting. We've always said this team would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into a re-build.
Maybe that's happening.
Not a bad thing.

The worst thing that happened to this organization over the last few years was that Gaudreau and Tkachuk's poker faces had management convinced they had a good chance of of retaining the players. For this I'm glad that Backlund and Lindholm are being all business as management can face the facts and rid themselves of pie in the sky fantasies that they can hold on to them next season in hopes of convincing them to stay.
