The Brodie contract is great, no doubt. The Backlund one is fine, but not incredible.
It's a results oriented business (just ask Bob Hartley). Being good on paper is meaningless until we see the results, which so far have been mixed.
If goaltending is only average this year, I personally doubt we have the forward group to make the playoffs. Given that this can still be a rebuilding year, I am fine with that actually, as long as we see an upward trajectory at least.
