196 back right now, but he will need do a lot of damage to that number the remaining games this year and next season. The speculation is he will probably sign 4 year contract after he becomes an UFA after next season, to align with the five year contract extension Backstrom just signed. If that is the case he has the rest of this season and five full seasons to take a crack at it. If he is close I could see him coming back, health permitting.
