I am okay with signing Backlund provided that it is understood that it is to fit in on the #3 spot.

He is not consistently good enough to be a #2 on a SC contender and has not shown that he rises to the occasion to dominate in important games.

Before signing Backlund at UFA $$$ have to decide if Jankowski is going to be a #2 or the #3 and at what cost.

I would really like to put Backlund up on the RW of Monahan's line to see if he could be a ppg player.

PS Think of what team and how disappointing they would be if they sign him 5x4 to be their #2C on a team going for the SC.

What team would you think would be a SC favorite getting Backlund as a playoff rental?
