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.
I like Backlund but there is no way you give him 6X6. We still have to find money to keep Bennett and Tkachuk down the road and in a few years key members of our D will also be up.
