Yes, Vancouver. They wanted him to reach UFA status badly and they have a ton of cap space to include him. This was actually reported recently.
Perhaps you should check your facts before making sweeping statements like that one. I'm betting Vancouver isn't the only team that would have significant interest in Backlund, even at his new salary.
