Wild Update: Backs, Schedule, Calder Cal and Offense

On Backstrom: The guy is just playing great right now.  No, he doesn't see a ton of shots, nor does  he see a bunch of scoring chances.  But he is absolutely deserving of all the praise he's receiving now.  He's also an unrestricted free agent after this season, inexpensive (making $3.1M this year) and not that old (30).
