I hope to grow old with Backlund as a Flame. He's a few months younger than me and i've been a fan of his game since the beginning, when i thought he'd be our #1 guy with Iggy to take us to the promised land. Even if that didn't pan out, I think he's a player you need to retain if you want to contend. Sign him long term, but front-load his contract a bit for when Brodie, Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, etc are due for big extensions.
