Some people obviously don’t understand that Backlund would’ve probably got 6 years for 6 mill on the open market. The Flames had little leverage besides the fact that Backlund seems to enjoy playing for this city. There are a number of contenders that would’ve been lining up for Backlund in the offseason, this deal is a hell of a win imo. Especially with the cap increase and with this team having to pay Tkachuk very soon.
