@New Era. You make a fair point, and I'm not sure if you addressing my post specifically, but my point isn't about paying Backlund at all. I believe the team will (and should) keep him on the roster this season and deal with contract in the off season if they have to as it is playoff suicide to deal him at the deadline. The NHL is ultimately about winning and Treliving has put together a team that COULD be a winner. I don't see a scenario where moving Backlund advances that goal.
