I have a hard time seeing Backlund as a 6 million dollar guy, but comparable's would put him in that range.

He'll be at that tricky age where players used to be in their prime, but now that looks to be the start to the back nine. Term has to be kept to no more than 5 years and three if the salary starts at 6. It's reminiscent of Daymond Langkow. He wasnt as good defensively or in the dot, but was better offensively. He got a big 4 year contract at a couple years older but didn't deliver value.
