Perfect contract. Cheap, locks him up for 2 years and he'll still be a RFA when it expires

Wow that's it? Great signing. Thought it was going to be in the 2mill-2.5mill ball park and wouldn't have been mad about that kinda money.

“Mikael really stepped-up last season and took advantage of the change in direction under a new coaching staff,” said Flames General Manager Jay Feaster. “He came into camp in very good shape and also had regained his confidence. He parlayed that into a strong season, and if it wasn’t for his injury we believe he would have progressed even further in his development. We need Mikael to be one of our go-to players this year, and we are excited about watching him continue to evolve and take that step to the next level as a player.”
-Feaster

Very good deal for a solid player and, from all appearances, an excellent ambassador for the team!

Glad to see that he will be in a Flames sweater for at least two more years!

If this kid stays healthy I think he could have a breakout season

Good signing. Nice to see the two years. Have some good, healthy seasons now Mr. Backlund.

Finally get to use my positive youtube reaction clip on a Flames signing this FA season!

Great contract. Up to Backs now to prove that he is a #2 league wide center.

Very good money and it keeps him an RFA at the end. A good incentive deal.

Great signing!

Hopefully he can stay injury free this year and progress even more and become one of the leaders on the team.
