I've never really understood the complaints about Treliving as GM. Clauses like this are clever and important ways of providing guarantees for the team.
Sure, it may be somewhat difficult to move that contract later on if the Flames needed to, but at least this way there's an opportunity to do so in the final few years of the contract should Backlund and the team both need a fresh start.
Of course, here's to hoping that Backlund finishes the contract as a successful and championship-winning member of the Flames. Good job, Brad!
