I'd trade Backlund at the draft this off-season, not extend and name him the Captain.

He has requested a trade (at least once), he couldn't help the dressing room last season - just move on. This organization doesn't need more of the same - turn the page. Yeah, Backlund has been here a long time - a long, long time loaded with failure. Remember when we used to mock the Oilers because they kept ruining youngsters with their "losing culture"...and here we are clamouring to name a 34 year old centre who has been part of two playoff series victories to be named captain? Enough of that.
