Confirmed Signing with Link: [BOS] David Backes (5 years, $6.000M AAV)

[HuskyBruinPride]

1 yr deal? I'm totally onboard.

 

[57special]

Made no sense till I read it was only ONE year? Now it makes sense for BOS, not so much Backes.

 

[znk]

Why would a player in his position accept 1 year?

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

1 year is not confirm

 

[gamer1035]

Just said he made a mistake

 

[BonMorrison]

Damn Daniel

 

[wedge]

Bob said he incorrectly tweeted one year.

[BOS] David Backes

Per Sportsnet

 

[Drift]

ahhhh nooo

 

[Go Wings]

McKenzie just said he incorretly tweeted it was a 1 year deal.

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

McKenzie said the one-year deal part was a mistake.

 

[settinguptheplay]

Bit stunned by the 1 year.... Unless the dollar amount is massive.

Misquoted... Explains the 1 year...

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Could end up being the worst contract of them all

How? It could legit be $7mm and not be the worst contract. Its one year haha.

 

[kilowatt]

Backes seems like the perfect player for Boston.

 

[JJTT]

Not one year afterall

 

[Avs44]

It's not a one year deal, McKenzie said on air he messed up

 

[FLYLine27*]

Haha. Odd fit.

 

[Kolzilla]

Why only 1 year? Avoid losing him in the expansion draft?

Edit: Ok, let's see the terms, not 1 year...

 

[zaYG]

Didn't want him but at one year? Sure.

 

[PuckNorris]

3rd line center?

 

[Unbiased]

This is gonna be the worst contract in 3 years (unless it actually is 1 year which bob said its not)

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

McKenzie said the one-year deal part was a mistake.

Oh well now im worried haha. Ugh.

 

[dream43]

Bergeron,Kreci,Spooner and now Backes?

 

[Cassano]

Bergeron and Backes.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Damn, great addition for Boston. East is going to be ridiculous next season
