I was kind of hoping the Flames would trade him to a playoff team at the deadline and then sign him again in the summer. But signing him now is a much more realistic outcome. I'm glad he's sticking around.

Great contract. That is a pretty good discount considering the cap is going way up. Derek Ryan made that in a much lower cap.
Plays the game the right way, takes care of himself. If we move other vets, it is nice to know we have him for leadership.

So trade protection in the last 1.5 years is just 10 team. Can move him easily if either party desires.

The 10 team list starts on January 28', so that's essentially the last 2 months before the deadline on the last year of his deal. Long story short, Backlund is not getting traded, he's here to stay.

So we can sign our captain to remain with the team until he retires. What's the problem, Edmonton?

I see other guys on this squad who inspire more....they just do.
Thoughts ?
Thinking out loud is that allowed.?

You're not in the room. You're not the one who anyone has to 'inspire'.

I think its full NMC until Jan 1, 2028. So, the 10 team list is for the last half of of his last year.

What do you see from others that displays their leadership ability and status amongst the players on the team?

Do we start talking about jersey retirement if he stays the full two years?

Pissed off a lot of Oilers fans today messaging them saying --
"The captain finally signed, 2 years"
Fortunately, this captain is not going to New York or Toronto in a season

Oh man, totally day dreaming. But imagine if we have a contention window in 3 years and Backlund gets to go on a playoff run.

Great to see. I think his leadership shone through last year with a team that had a shortage of skill but was able to remain competitive through hard work and persistence.
He's an excellent example for the next generation of core players and I really hope that they can improve quickly so he can be with the team for a couple of playoff runs.
