Perhaps. There's still value to the team on and off the ice as far as I'm concerned.
Obviously. But that is a lot of money for a player his age thats not named Ovy or Crosby etc

I get what you're saying but the NHL is a business. Players themselves bring that all the time when they sign with another team.
The reality is if you hold on to your veterans for too long you're shooting yourself in the foot as an organization.
I do agree however that you still have to keep 1 or 2 core veterans if only to pass on the torch to the new generation and make sure your organization doesn't take the Oilers/Sabres route.

Unlike Crosby he can be actually counted on to stay on the ice
So you think this is a good deal?
There are only four names in the past decade or so to score more, so the problem here is more that you don’t respect Backstrom’s name among his peers.Obviously. But that is a lot of money for a player his age thats not named Ovy or Crosby etc
