Yeah, after hearing those interviews for myself, I have to agree with others who said Backlund and Lindholm already have one foot out the door. Backlund pretty much stated it. "I love the city, but after the season we had.... I am 34 years old and want to win a Cup".
Lindholm really stumbled through his answer and finished with; "I have one year left, and that is all I'll say".
Can't lose these guys for nothing. Trade them this off season. Even if they tickle the GM's balls like Gaudreau did to Treliving, we can't go down that road again.
