Count me down as confused why people are wanting to ship out one of, if not our best defensive forward. Hovering around 30 points, that's 3rd line numbers. He's softer then you'd like but that's not different then Cogliano of the Ducks. Good two-way, on the soft side, but smart players with excellent positioning and stick work. Cogliano makes 3 million even. That'd be the end line of Backlund for me, 3 year deal?
We're not in a cap crunch, our depth isn't all that great yet. Colborne is finding his game as a winger, great along the boards, don't like his two-way game enough.
