I like the guy but you cannot build a team with a player you can only count on for 60 games a season.

Backlund signed two very cheap "show me" contracts in a row and IMO he's shown a lot of progress, especially in his two-way game ... offering him another 1 yr contract would be a huge slap in the face and Backlund certainly doesn't deserve that. IMO it's time he's rewarded, period.
