I would completely understand if Backlund left us to go to a team closer to winning but in the salary cap era that is easier said than done. Anybody that's close probably doesn't have the Cap for him anyway. Has it ever worked to go to a winner aside from Bourque in 2001? Maybe Hossa 2008-2010 but that's not really the same thing.

Anyway I would love either Backlund or Rasmus as the captain but I do lean toward Rasmus if Backlund isn't here to stay.
