Backlund's follow up answer said "biggest dream of all would be to win it here in Calgary. I would love to do it here in Calgary", but people are quick to forget that one for some reason.
He's being non committal right now because he wants to see what changes are coming. I would be too if I were in his shoes.
That doesn't mean he or Lindholm don't want to be back. Just means they want to see what happens first in this very important and complicated offseason.
From what I saw today, I'm not even close to ruling out Backlund returning beyond next season.
