He really didn't take much of a hometown discount and he probably isn't too happy being taken off the second line and now being demoted to the fourth line.
With Ryan around, I really don't think Backlund or his cap hit is needed.

Ryan only has one more year on his deal after this season. No guarantee he will be around in 2 seasons. Backlund hasn't been his best this season but he has been a consistent 45+ point player while being one of the better defensive players on the team. His contract is fine.
