Francis: Backlund contract talks heating up. Ask is around $5 mil x 5 or 6 years

Quote:
“I was pushing for (a new contract) in the summer and talking to my agent (J.P. Barry) then, but things got a little crazy with everything that was going on before the season started. All the (Jaromir) Jagr situation and, ‘who is going to stay and who is going to go,’ and all that – I know Tre (Flames GM Brad Treliving) was busy. It was a busy time.”
Word around the league has been that the 28-year-old centre is seeking the same six-year deal worth $6 million annually Kyle Turris signed in November.
However, a source familiar with the situation said Backlund’s ask is closer to $5 million annually over five or six years, which is much more in line with what the Flames can manage
