He's making 775K this year, id have no problem giving him 1.25 (maybe a bit more) for 3/4 years.

ya, i agree with you here. I think it would be great to have a 3rd line that still has some skill and can score goals. The ideal 4th line would be a shutdown, energy line and Bouma fits that line perfectly.
I think 1.5 to 2m for Bouma is fine, 2 or 3 years.
As for Backlund, he should get 4m for 4 years, I think that is fair. He does love playing for the Flames and I think he will be a great guy around for the rebuild and future success.
