Rumor: Backlund asked for a trade

Damn, Backlund is the last guy I would have expected that from. Dutter must be universally disliked. Except by Lucic and Lewis.

Backlund is the prototypical CGY player to me, he represents their organization better than Johnny or Tkachuk ever did.
He is fine. Not very offensively gifted, but above average defensively. Not particularly exciting to watch but doesn't make many mistakes. Doesn't have a high ceiling, but a high floor. You get no sense from him that there is more, he just is what he is.

Backlind, Dutter… is this a parallel universe?

Shocking. Today's players don't want to play for a dinosaur coach.
Also I think that's a misuse of the word rescind.
Usually you can't rescind something someone else does, you can only rescind what you've done. Sorta like revoke.
So Backlund can rescind his trade request, but the Flames can't rescind the request, because they didn't make the request. The Flames can deny the request.

Backlund is a whole lot better than "above average" defensively. You could pick him, Danault, Eriksson Ek or Faksa as the best defensive forward in the game. He's an absolute rock in terms of possession and his own zone. Our failure to hard match him against McDavid is why he ran roughshod over us in that series.
Dutter is correct. Backlund is not. Dutter accurately describes his player usage, line combinations and roster decisions.

Too much cap coming back. We need futures. And I don't want to trade Backlund unless he won't sign. He should be a lifer.

Jarry friggin sucks dude
After reading this, I seriously thought Dutter was something Flames fans call the HC.
Huh? He's got a great value contract. It's a toss up between Backlund, Toffoli and Lindholm on who our best player has been.
One year at $5.3 million, not a bad contract. If the Flames were to rebuild and hold some salary, he can get something decent.

Of course Backlund is not correct. It's Backlind. Any Floomes fan who's been a fan since Jareem Iguana will know that.
Dutter is something Flames fans call him. It goes back to his time as GM.

Is Jareem Iguana the guy that got traded for James Noodledyke?
