I don't think Treliving lets Backlund go. The window is the next 3 or 4 years while Johnny is still here. If Tre has to give Backlund a 5 or 6 year deal, he will do it. For the first 3 years, Backlund should still be a good player and by the last two years, whether the Flames have won a cup or not, Treliving will probably be gone anyways and Backlund's contract will be someone else's problem.

There is no replacement for Backlund. Tavares is not signing here. ROR will cost too many assets to acquire. Tre will sign Backlund and go all in the next 3 years.
