Then you may as well trade him now, as Backlund will get more $$$ and years as a UFA.
I guess the hope is that he'll accept less to remain a Flame and not take the risk of injury.
I assume if Backlund would sign such a deal, it would have been done already.
I expect him to sign with the Flames at numbers of about 6x6.
