Zadorov was waiting it out a bit as he liked it here, but then when Edwards pulled all extension talk at the Winter Classic, he was left in no man's land.
I do think the comments from Coleman were mainly directed at Lindholm. He moped around at the end of last year, lamenting his poor year because he didn't have the linemates he had the year before.
Backlund moped too and gave non committal answers, and he only returned late in the summer because they relented and gave him the C for a couple years, a move that Sutter didn't want to do...which lead to ....the room divided last year to be sure. Sutter vs Anti Sutter, with many in the middle. Didn't sound like many of the Swedes liked him.
Coleman and Tanev IMO are the defacto leaders of the current team, if I had to guess.

Sutter’s ‘nobody is good enough to be C’ was nonsense, to be quite honest
Poor leadership and power play
