As much as I would love to see Backlund retire a Flames, the team is nowhere near contender status probably for the remainder of his career. I wouldn't want to force him to stay on the team just so his hockeydb profile shows him having only played for the Flames and we can have the satisfaction of seeing that. He has his money and fully deserves to earn legit chances at a cup. Can't think of any team that wouldn't want him. Let him chase the cup, get the Flames some assets back and hopefully the organization smartens up moving foward.
