Anyone that doesn't like this contract or Backs becoming captain is out of their damn mind. This type of player is so underrated because he isn't on PP1 and leading the team in points. But he's just as important.
- Plays against the best competition
- Plays on both sides of the ice
- Plays on both sides of special teams
- Still contributes on the top half of the team for points while playing defensive
An argument can be made that he helped with the development of Tkachuk. Mangiapane is better with him.
