Backlund is still one of the best skaters on this team. Is he likely to fall off a cliff in 2-3 years?
I am 100% in favour of a rebuild, but I have zero qualms on having Backlund stick around another 2-3 years. He is looked upon as the captain on this team, he is elite defensively, just finished off a fantastic season in which the majority of his teammates took a step back, and there is nobody on this team that does as much as he does for the community.
I would welcome a Backlund re-signing.
