If Backlund signs the extension, make him captain. If he rejects, trade him right away to get something back.

Cant see that happening, personally. He'll be $4.5-$5.5, imo depedning on how many years. I can't see $3.5 AAV for Backlund in any scenario. It would take like 6-7 years to get his cap hit down that low and no team will do that.
