Backes happy to be with Blues: The Sports Xchange reports Blues RW David Backes was on his honeymoon in Hawaii when he learned that the Vancouver Canucks were interested in signing the restricted free-agent to an offer sheet. After making a name for himself as a physical yet skilled forward in two seasons with the Blues, Backes signed the three-year, $7.5 million offer sheet with the Canucks. But a couple of hours later, the Blues matched the offer and kept him in the fold. "It's like if you're offered a raise to move... a lot of people take those all the time," Backes said. "It's one of those things where that's where the game has become a business and it's a business decision. Now, I'm fortunate that they matched it and I'll be here for the next three years. Everything worked out great."

Fantasy Analysis
Backes has managed just 54 points in his first 121 NHL games. He also has 136 penalty minutes. He is a solid two-way player, but since Backes isn't yet viewed as a top-six forward, he remains a low-end Fantasy forward.
