Good. Key to a championship team is having centre depth. We're set up pretty well on that front.

Flames have gone cryptic with their press releases since Treliving took the GM position.

Backlunds deal is 3 years. #Flames
3 yrs @ $3.575 mil AAV
Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
As mentioned, AAV is $3.575M. So buys up two years of UFA.
David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod
It's a 3-year, $10.725 million extension for Backlund/Flames

Awesome news and great AAV. Longer the better at that price. Ideal 3rd line centre and pay.
Edit: 3 years works for me. Any longer and I would start to question Backlund's lack of confidence in being able to earn more.

Excellent signing on both term and dollars. About 575k higher than I was guesssing.
