This site has him as the 90th highest paid forward and the 47th highest paid center.
Of course at center they have the following players above him listed as a center - Stamkos, Hayes, Nylander, Nugent-Hopkins, Guentzel, Forsberg and Teraivainen listed as centers who do not regularly play center (there may be others, those ones caught my eye) so he is the 40th highest paid center.
Paid like an elite second line center (top third of the league).

Back to your original point, Backlund being paid as a top line C. Show me a team with a 1C who is making 5.35, and I’ll show you a bottom 5 team in the league.
