If the report is true that Backstrom waived his NTC b/c he was promised some starts, then it's a matter of honouring the agreement for the Flames. Failing to do so would eventually get around the league and the next time something like that came up the player might think twice about it.
Good move for the Flames to get something for Jones - it helps them and Backstrom doesn't hurt them.
