What revelation? It is more likely that term is the simple hold up than Backlund having made a firm decision.
There have only been 2 notable early extensions (Kopitar, Sorokin) of the 40 or 50 notable guys expiring next year. It's simply a waiting game.

If he will only stay in calgary if he's getting 5x5 but will play somewhere else for 2x3.5 the I would argue that he is unwilling to re-sign here.

Sure, but there is no reason to believe Backlund is living in Fantasyland
