"Earned" often doesn't mean much come UFA time.
I don't agree. Bonino got $4.1M and has had arguably a better career than Backlund and is very comparable to him. I don't see a team giving $6M for a forward that has 1 50pt season under his belt 10 years after being drafted regardless of how good his 2way game is.
