Backlund if traded is best to be moved in a deal where the flames take back a big contract for a team looking to create cap space

I don't get it... Trade a young player at a reasonable salary (RFA) with upside who has had great possession stats for the last 2 years, for a big salary? I don't think that is the right move...
4th + Backlund would get it done, I just don't understand it from Calgary's perspective. 5 prospects in the top tier, why move our young #2 Center?
