For Backlund it seems like it's all about winning and that's totally fair and it sounds like Lindholm is in the same camp but also wants to get paid.

Ok but if you go by what he said, the issues were:
-Sutter
-losing
-disjointed room
Anyone could say that any of those is caused by the other, and they'd probably be right. But he's not pointing at 1 thing, he's pointing at 3.
If you fix 2, the third falls into place. They've fixed 1.
