I think that's debatable. Backlund was on his way to a career year before the stoppage; I see no reason why he won't be just as good for at least one more season

We are in a position where next year it is likely that the cap goes down, that in combination with Backlunds inevitable decline ( not saying he sucks or sucked or whatever else you are projecting, Backlund up to this point has been a fine 2c) will make that tough money to pay someone, who after next season, should be deployed as a third line center...

Explain. Why "should" Backlund be playing on the third line in 2021?
