Backlund has 1 50pt season and people want to give him $6M until he is 35. I don’t want Backlunds contract getting in the way of a Tkachuk, Bennett, Jankowski, Gaudreau, or Monahan contract.

Brouwer: possession black hole, may be the worst player in the league
Backlund: possession monster, fancy stats favorite
My point is that Backlund is so much better and important to this team than we could have hoped Brouwer had been that the prevailing view on this forum that Backlund isn't worth it is nonsensical.
Look at Frolik in contrast, who is paid fair value and has been a great addition to this team.
And you don't want Backlund's contract getting in the way of Jankowski? Why?
