The Iginla mention was dumb too. Iginla had back to back 30 goal seasons after leaving Calgary. His value was low because a) Jay feaster and b) Iginla had a nmc which he utilized to his full advantage.
The fact dissentowner's list then added Kadri who got an insanely good return despite his age and contract...yikes.
And Backlund was 24 when he was left off Sweden's team in 2014 and 36 the next time the NHL had the Olympics. He made the World Cup team in 2016. Not that it matters Backlund has always been a very good bordering on great defensive and two way player but never elite. He's a transition captain, a good solid vet wearing the c on a bad team. That isn't a knock against him either
