To be fair, backlund has much more value to us than he does externally. And Nashville gave Johansen away for nothing, so hard to blame conny on this one, or Colorado for taking on a free asset instead of having to pay to get backlund. Ok having backs start the season, and move him during the season when hopefully his value will improve.
