Nothing more on any of this than what we've had up to this week, so just trying to put the pieces together.
As of now we've heard from Backlund (and his agent) that he wants to win the Stanley Cup and will wait to see what this team does. I don't think the Flames commit to Backlund if they end up extending Lindholm at $8M+
Speaking of Lindholm, Friedman suggests everything runs through his decision and that feels accurate. Also said Lindholm is willing to see young players added to the team but wouldn't want to be part of a complete rebuild. I don't think thats happening at all, even if they lose Hanifin. If he (Lindholm) signs, they'll still be trying to contend even if they end up with picks and not players back in any other deal.
