No idea what one has to do with the other. Strange co-relation.
I would say that if no extension is in place and Treliving thinks Backlund wants to test the market, it almost ensures Backlund getting dealt by the TD.
And the biggest reason would be to recoup some of the draft picks they lack as we sit today.
This club is not anywhere close enough to contend to allow an asset of his value walk for nothing in the summer.
