I think we're in agreement on all points. Backlund is a helluva player and would be best served being in Calgary playing for the Flames. So what's the number?
I think that $22.5-25M is the range. $5.5Mx4 or $5Mx5. I think that can cover the bridge deals for Bennett, Tkachuk and Jankowski. Anything more than that, can the Flames afford him?
