And Killorn also had I think two more years worth of RFA in that deal which brings the AAV down....
and Killorn just happened to be a nice Top 6 piece on one of the best teams in the NHL this year, and unlike Backlund, he was playing alongside a 40 goal scoring legend, not Lance Bouma and David Jones.

How many players in the NHL are getting paid more than 3 million dollars a year to put up less than 30 points?

He was on pace for 42+ points this year, and put up 39 last year. Injuries might be a bit of a negotiating point, you don't sum aggregate points without factoring in the games played that season. He's a 40 point centreman in terms of his average production. If we don't pay him and buy UFA years, he will get paid appropriately somewhere else as a UFA.

How many of those guys would you say are worth it?

How about Jarett Stoll? yeah, 2014-15 was a terrible year for him, but prior to that the he was a notable part of two cup winning teams as a guy making a Stajan contract as a 3rd line center. In those cup years he had 21 and 27 points respectively.
Also, that was a past contract when the cap was much smaller. 3 million now might've been 2 million 4 years ago.
