Backlund is staring that point right in the face. If he wants a good chance to win in Calgary, he will need to accept a short term somewhat lower deal, otherwise he will have to be moved. Its his choice as much as it is Trelivings.

He doesn't need to do anything or accept anything less than market value. He's been one of the better Calgary Flames in the last several years on and off the ice.
Give him what he deserves or another team will and we will miss him dearly.
