Again, based on what?

The stats don't always line up to reflect reality. Buffalo with ROR, Eichel and Sam R would not want Backlund at his current contract despite him out-producing their 3 guys over the last 3 years.
What teams do you see lining up to out-bid the Flames for him as a UFA?

I already said that I think most teams would jump at the chance to add Mikael Backlund to centre their second line. Of course, there are a handful with such terrific centre depth that would not—such as Pittsburgh and TB—but I think these would be the exception.
