Not to mention what we suspect are Murray's Marching Orders.
Oh no, you're absolutely right, but we also dont need to keep digging by adding these ageing contracts.

Backlund is okay I think, Kadri...we might regret that one, and depending on circumstances we'll see what happens with the rest.

I tend to disregard the concept of 'Murray's Marching Orders.' I know we can infer and surmise but we really cant be sure.

Maybe its true, maybe its not, maybe its more complicated than that. I dont know.

Either way, I'm actually quite pleased that there is a high likelihood that Backlund retires as a Calgary Flame. His career was touch and go for a while there and then its like a switch clicked and he never looked back.
