This organization has done a lot to ensure Backlund became established as an NHLer and it was touch-and-go for quite a while due to his nagging injuries early on. I'm sure he recognizes that and seems eager to get this team into the playoffs every time he steps onto the ice.

5 million is a discount ?? 4.2 for me on a 4 year
