I see stupid Maple Leaf money, and an extremely high draft pick (witch does make a big difference in RFA money), and experienced NHL players who could have been UFAs. You make it look like the over under on Backlunds contract should be about $4M. I think it should be more like vary high 2's.
If I were betting on this Backlunds contract I would set the over under on term at 2.5.
IMO chances are
~45% 2 year deal
~35% 3 year deal
~15% 4 Year deal
~5% Other
And on Dollars it would be 2.96.
50% $2.95M or under
50% $3M or higher
Another think to note the Flames are allot more likely to play hard ball right now with Bouma and Backlund to set the tone fore Monahan & Gaudreau next year. They need to build a culture of a home town discount.
