There are other vets beyond those guys. If he gets term and dollars I don't think it's worth it. He's taking away a spot from a young player. If he is injured again or production slows were stuck with him. 2-3 years sure. 4-5 unless at a discount no thanks.

I'm pretty much in agreement with this. Younger flames like Backlund are developing into leaders too.
