On Edmonton #7 Boyd Gordon @3M and #8 Smyth @ 2.25
You should never pay more than what a guy is worth.... If Backlund scores 50 goals in 2 years and is locked in at 3M for another 5 years he will be unhappy.

Really? 25 goals a year is easily top 6 production, and along with his decent two-way game a 50 point Backlund for 3m is a bargain.
