1st and 2nd line ice should go to Backlund and our draft pick (assuming we get Barkov or MacKinnon) and I'd rather see Reinhart or Horak to round out the top 3. If we end up with a non-centre like Jones, Drouin or slip out of the top 4 and get somebody worse who will need another year in junior then I'm OK to bring him back.

Keep in mind his salary is only $925,000 this year - the rest is bonuses. He probably won't be getting the bonuses.
