Has it ever been confirmed that Backlund actually wants out?
There are so many complications to signing him to an extension: age, tenure (almost 1000 games as a Flame, a bit of a shame to move before that), role going forward, other players over 30 already signed for the long term, Stanley Cup prospects for the Flames in the next few years, opportunity to see what's out there for the first time...
