The number of years per contract is good in this mock. I think it might be unrealistic to get those numbers with the optimal amount of years, but I'd be happy if it happened.
I don't think the Backes trade makes any sense at all. It's like blind optimism. I could see the Arizona part of the trade happening. They'd probably take Cehlarik for a 4th and wouldn't mind retaining 3M for something else, but Minnesota in not uncertain terms; would be friggen stupid as hell to trade anything of value even for 3M cap hit Backes at this point. He's not any bit good in a scoring role and 3M is far too much to spend on a 4th liner. That part of the trade totally falls apart for me because I think you'd still have to pay someone to take Backes even if he's retained at 50%. He simply isn't worth more than maybe half that.
