A lot of CP posters were speculating a four or five year deal for Backlund. Conroy brings him in for 2 years at a number less than said posters were suggesting for 5 years.
Maybe give the guy some credit? Maybe the reason Hanifin and Lindholm are in limbo is because Conroy is trying to sign them to team friendly shorter term deals that allows him to retain some trade value. That seems like the smart thing to do. Any rebuild is going to take some time because of the anchor contracts on the books.
