A guy who is needs lots of development is unlikely to be the BPA, as he has fewer years to deliver value over his contract before he hits UFA.

What a subjective sentence...
If he takes longer to develop, by the time he gets to those UFA years, he's not making max dollars because gasp he's not done cooking yet. And if he's the bum you think he is, he's never going to get max dollars anyway, he'll be lucky to get Backlund's last deal coming off his ELC.
Support our guy. Are you really that bent that we didn't get Teravainen, Ceci, Olli Maata, Brendan Gaunce, or Malcolm Subban?
