If Hanifin wants out and Lindholm wants out likely Backlund sees no chance of winning here so he will want out.
Personally at this point I feel like this is good news for the long term health of the franchise. 3 strong assets have indicated they are wanting to leave so the choice is clear and trades should be made. The Flames will become flush with young assets that will give them a stronger ability to pounce when the next young RFA wants a change of scenery just like they did with Hamilton 8 years ago
