A horribly sad day and an awesome day. 100% behind Backs as captain. I don’t believe he ever said he didn’t want to be here - he absolutely said he would wait to make a decision and to see if the team established a direction. That meant 2 things - Sutter needed to be gone and a management plan needed to be in place. I doubt that even Backs saw BT moving on so quickly. Having Conny and Huska placed in charge, put their mark on the team and reaffirm that they were building towards contending instead of rebuilding probably swung the pendulum. Great Flame, great guy, fair contract and great pick as cap’n.
