What happens with Backlund is somewhat in his camp right now.
If he says something like 'I don't negotiate during the season', then welcome to Calgary ROR. But I don't think he's that kind of guy. I would assume that the Flames want to sign Backlund sooner rather than later, or else they will have to look at all options.
I could see basically the status quo going forward.
I could also see Hamilton for ROR, and then flipping Backlund to someone (St. Louis?) for a first and third. Treliving has a tonne of options, due to the depth of good players coming up from the 'A'.
