He wants to win, we'll see what the team does etc.
Its not looking good IMO.

Backlund’s at a spot where he needs to be honest with himself about the situation here.
Johnny left.
Chucky left.
Tree left.
Lindholm, Toffoli, Hanifin all 1 year from free agency.
This team certainly has momentum, and it’s catching speed…downhill.
This organization is not moving towards contending. Backlund has been a good solider, but it’s time for him to go elsewhere and take that shot at the Cup. This team doesn’t have the prospect base that is going to elevate them to anything more than what they’ve been.
