Slightly off topic but is Backlund signed for next year? If not he is do for a massive pay raise.
I'm starting to fear that our cap room is going to dissolve rather quick... Gio is up after next year, Brodie's money kicks in next year, Monahan is RFA after next year, same with Gaudreau. Bouma is probably due for a pay raise, if we keep Russell he will be due for a raise...
I think Backlund will be the perfect 3 C when this team is competing for a cup, in how many years will that be though, and as we can see, you can't have 3rd line centre making 4 + million... The cups chicago for example won they had lots of their main dudes still on cheap money.
If im Monahan's agent, I don't re-up July 1st. What if he scores 25-30 again next year? He's gonna need to get paid real cashola.
