Why must our Captains and potential Captains break our hearts.

Well, that probably solves the mystery of why he wasn’t named captain.

After all those times calling him *Caplund*….I feel so used

What a pro. Knowing this and had a career season after-the-fact. Stand up guy, that Kadri can only ever dream of being.

Well you could see why.
Dominating season. Tough first round. Out in 5 against the oilers. I’d be pretty frustrated too.

I heard about this a couple months ago but thought it was just rumours but honestly I’m not shocked especially now after his comments about being 34 and wanting to win a Stanley Cup

Good, he’s old and can’t hit the net to save his life. One of the most frustrating players you’ll ever watch in the offensive zone.

Trade him immediately. Our hand is forced again with some guys. Lindholm is another one to trade immediately. No way in hell they’re on this team by trade deadline so get it over with and get more for both.

Brutal! Another rollercoaster summer coming at us.

I know its hockey and trades happen but its still kinda sad that these guys have no loyalty to a team that provided them life for their whole career. No need to reply fyi, I know Cgy is a train wreck, its just sad and frustrating.

The hockey writers is not a legitimate source. It should probably be banned from being posted.

All the people calling him captain are in shambles right now.
You could see it in his attitude on the bench, sure he played hard on the ice but when you saw him on the bench he kept to himself and never looked like he was having any fun whatsoever

Heartbreaking to hear, since I am definitely one of the ones who wanted to see him wear the C, but honestly who can blame him? He’s missed the playoffs 9 times in 14 seasons…

I want backlund to find other opportunities elsewhere. It’s clear the flames aren’t going to be contenders anytime soon and he’s not getting any younger. Sucks to hear

fuck that sucks

Pretty sure he requested this following Tkachuck wanting to leave too. I can’t blame the guy, he’s on the back 9 of his career and he wants to win. Makes sense to request out when the top players have just left your team

This article is such trash. Nothing but 6 paragraphs of the writer speculating on things using one Leslie quote about him maybe requesting a trade and then rescinding it.

After watching the end of season interviews it sounds like Stone is the only one actually wanting to play in Calgary. Make STONE captain! But first let’s sign em to another one year deal

Thats heartbreaking
