For those of you not local to Saint Louis, you may have read a recent Fox Sports article on the possibility of David Backes being demoted. That article, which isn't worth reading, is located here. I originally expected the article to be about the Blues naming a new captain for the season. It is not. The article is a watered down version of a much better article by the Post Dispatch (which is actually worth reading) located here. I would suggest reading this article for a better idea of what is actually going on. Below I will breakdown it down.
