IMO this decision on Backlund has nothing to do with where the Flames sit in the standings. BT will earn his money by either getting Backlund signed before the trade deadline or trading him to another playoff team in the East for assets.
BT does not earn his money by letting Backlund go for nothing in July. Indeed that is the worst case scenario.
I fully understand Backlund's importance, but if he can't be signed for money that fits our salary structure - he must be traded.
