Let Backlund pick which one he wants.

I think there is a reasonable chance he would choose "none of the above".
A first time UFA at his age will likely want a long term deal, and the AVV will, IMO have to start with a least a $5.5M on such a deal.
If he could be convinced to take a short term deal (I can't imagine why he would do such a thing), it would have to be at a huge AAV. With Calgary's window, that won't make sense to Calgary who will want to keep the cap hit down during their competing years.
Let's hope Treliving can continue his magic.
Like many, I think Backlund is absolutely key to this team.
