So what is the plan for the next 3 years ? This is our prime compete window . We’ll worry about years 5 and 6 in 5 and 6 years.
I am not thrilled about he length, but what choice do we have. We are not better over the next few years without Backlund. So if we’re trading him, we should really just revamp the whole team and deal Gio, Frolik, Smith and Hamonik
