I don't usually say something like this, but if you don't think Backlund is worth 5x5, you have no idea what you are talking about.

I agree with you. But at the end of the day we still arent a stanley cup contender and i doubt we make the playoffs this year. Realistically he is a 3rd line checking center on a stanley cup winning team we cannot afford to pay him what he would get on the open market. I bet he signs a discount deal on a stanley cup contending team
