Backlund might at this point in his career? People's priorities change as they age and he might be at a point where his family and life outside of hockey is more important to him than moving somewhere to chase a Cup (and probably fail to win it, let's be honest).
I'm sure Backs would love to win a cup, but him re-signing here for another 2 years sure seems to suggest that there are other things that are more important to him than that at this stage.
