Ryan Kesler got 6.875 for 6 years at 31yo (UFA)
Patrice Bergeron got 6.875 for 8 years 29yo
Paul Stastny got 7.0 for 4 years at 29YO (UFA)
Mikko Koivu got 6.75 for 7 years at 28yo

All of these were signed when the salary cap was at. If you feel Backlund is close to any of these guys, then this contract is both appropriate and I'd argue a decent deal for the Flames still.
