Backlund has been great and I am surprised he asked out, but it wouldn't be crazy to make a move. I think most thought his current contract would age badly by this point, but he has been full value. The next one could get ugly though. Would be interesting to hear what he expects in the next deal.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
