That sure looks like a statement of information to me.

My prediction on Mikael Backlund: he signs in the neighbourhood of three years at a $5.5M AAV. We will see how accurate I am. It’s always a grind to get there, but there is a will on both sides.

He says right up front that this is a prediction, and then covers that by noting he could be wrong about the numbers. I suspect he knows they will get a deal done, but it sure doesn't sound like he has any feel for what it will look like, and is just guessing.
