The most prominent one that actually hurt them was Hanifin. It felt like they let him do alot of hand wringing about staying in Calgary, which put them in a bad situation as the clock started to run out.
But I will say this to counter my own point as I think about it. Them retaining someone like Backlund isn't necessarily just for the players desire. It's part of their own plan as they try to stay competitive.
