The Backlund situation has been puzzling for awhile now. Requests a trade last year and then pulls back on that once Huberdeau and Kadri are brought it. Then rumours float around that he badly wants to be captain and today we hear the news he wants out again. I don’t get what’s going on with him. Is it a simple as seeing that others want out and now he knows that if he wants to win then the best way to do that is by leaving? From all the chatter we’ve heard today about players wanting out there must be a lot more behind the scenes in that locker room that we don’t know about. I mean they got their wish in removing Sutter yet there still seems to be a mass exodus going to occur. Very strange times.
