Backlund is in year-two of his five year deal. Last year he finished on pace to score +50 points, and he is currently on a 52-point pace despite having a slow start, and getting a tonne of defensive zone assignments.
Maybe that contract becomes an issue next year, or in years four or five. But as of today Backlund is playing at a level consistent with his salary.
