If you can get Backlund for $5 million for any length, you do that ASAP. Anyone who thinks otherwise here is simply wrong.

I would think you would be wrong if Backlund got a 7 year deal. Hell I don't think Backs should get 6 years at $5 million. Every year the NHL is going younger and younger .Its not going to be to long until GM's realise that July 1st is not a good day to sign players that are nearing 30 and over to long term deals.
