Backlund has been better than Monahan this year and it's not even that close.
If you can't afford to pay Backlund $5 million or thereabouts then you need to look at moving money elsewhere. Backlund is a much more valuable player than Frolik or Brouwer. Bennett has a ways to go before he proves he is that good. Jankowski yet to prove he is an NHLer.
You build championship teams by being strong down the middle.
