Depending on how they view internal options for centre next season, Backlund could certainly be an interesting option. The price would have to be right though - ie in the range of 5-5.5 mil over 5 years or so
Agreed, this is only if Willy isnt seen as a C. I would think that considering Turris signed for 6 x 6 that would have to set the market for Backlund and JVR. All drafted in the same year.
Turris
559 | 139 | 195 | 334 |
JVR
559 | 180 | 181 | 361 |
Backlund
492 | 101 | 146 | 247 |
JVR has already said he would take a haircut for term.... I wouldnt be opposed to a 5 x 7 deal.
Backlund is a lesser C than turris, He might be had for 5.5.... That would work perfectly fine. After the Marleau/Martin Contracts expire, we would have plenty of Room for a big name D.
