For what he makes and given his age this is my obvious choice.

It really isn't. I cannot remember a time within the last four years when Backlund played as poorly as he did in the first two months of the 2019–20 season. I can pretty well guarantee that if Backlund is exposed, the Flames will lose him, and I don't see how that will be beneficial without an adequate replacement in place.
