Point being, Backlund if he cares about winning a cup would be foolish to sign another contract here.

By all accounts it sounds like Backlund really wants to win a Stanley Cup over money and legacy in one city. I admire that in any player as winning the cup is pinnacle of the sport and something you don't want to look back after your career is over. The reason he's asked to be traded as he fully knows it's not happening with the Flames so Conroy has his work cut out for him trying to convince him to stay. I think there's a better chance of keeping Lindholm on a big payday contract than trying to convince Backlund to stay but you never know.
