I for one would love to see him play out his entire career here. But given how is contract could shake out, he still could very much leave to chase a cup.
I depends on what is offered. Let's not let sentimental feelings get in the way of the best thing for the team. If someone thinks Backlund is a key piece for their playoff run and offers a 1st and he is willing to go you drive him to the airport. There are still plenty of vets here like Weegar and Coleman who bring leadership.
