The juicier bit that stumbled out this summer that is still up in the air in my eyes is from Ryan Leslie in talking with Eric Francis. They were discussing Backlund and Lindholm as players that don’t want to/won’t return and Leslie made the comment that “and that list is growing”.
There’s a problem here. It’s not just players vs coaches either, Friedman I believe in his latest 32 thoughts has said there was player vs player problems as well.

If indeed there is player vs player drama as well, my god has this team deteriorated into something abysmal.
Could you imagine trying to lure UFA's into this market/team now?
The list of players this year that could speak anything in terms of other guys having to step up is quite small, that's likely Backlund/Lindholm drama and wanting to leave the team I'm thinking.
90% of the team underperformed
Rumored player vs player drama
Coach rift with half the team, including star players.
GM wanted out
Owner too involved in hockey decisions
Rookies not played, put down in media
No new arena yet
The list of negatives is growing at an alarming rate.
