Its not even just that, but Backlund is too old now.
Even if he stays, its unlikely he's going to be re-upped and even if he is, it wont be for long. It makes much more sense to appoint a younger guy who is going to be around for a while.
Andersson was high among my list of choices too because he wants to be here, he likes it here, he's a leader and most of all, he plays with the sort of grit that drags his team into the fight.
This team needs more animosity. Its needs more 'hate to lose' and I think Andersson brings that and hopefully that becomes infectious.
This team as a whole needs to 'hate to lose.'
Not just..."aw, that was a bad one, okay, we'll try again tomorrow."
