Backlund has been the de facto #2 centre most of the year. The only player you listed who is consistently in the bottom 6 is Lucic, and we all know why that contract is there.

The difference between #134 and #140 in the NHL is insignificant. The 140th-highest paid forward in the league has a cap hit of $4,750,000 compared to Coleman's $4,900,000. Apparently you don't think having an excellent defensive forward and top-flight penalty killer is worth $150,000.
