Given the deals coming off the books in the next two seasons I think Backlunds deal will be manageable.
Given that you have the likes of Monahan, Gaudreau, Hamilton at their price points for 3 more years this won't be a contract that "ruins" the Flames. If not Backlund....you're probably buying lesser value in Free Agency to use that money.
