Backs gets murdered by those two in the faceoff dot seemingly ad nauseum and isn't quite where they are at defensively (even though he is still very, very good).

400-500k less is still over $6m per, said it before and I'll say it again, If Backlund wants more than $5m x 5yrs you trade him fast and drive him to the airport. as good as he's been in his last 2 years with 47 and 53 points his track record still says he's a 3rd line center good for 25-35 points. this team can't afford to pay him anything close to $6m
