It's a value contact though, he might be playing filler minutes right now but teams know his cap hit is on par with or a little lower than his skill set.
But that's the risk I think, can they afford to sacrifice veteran leadership next season. or maximize the return and move Backlund? maybe not a risk, but a definite problem. And like I said, I'd rather keep Backlund.
