I've always thought Backlund was a Babcock / Red Wing type of player. Other than that, not sure what other fit there would be. The young core of the Flames is off-limits. it would likely be young players who aren't part of the core: Ferland, Bouma, Granlund, Jooris. For the Flames, I could see them having interest in Kadri, Reimer, Bernier. Flames would like JVR but that price would be too high.
Kadri would be a good supplement or support player to the young forward core. He's still young is very skilled but he likely won't ever reach the upper echelon nor be paid like a top forward, which would work well for the Flames moving forward if you are saving your cap space for Monahan, Gaudreau, and Bennett.
