[Signing] Backlund 2 years 1.5AAV

[edslunch]

I thought he was often the Flames most exciting player last year. Looking forward to seeing what he does this year

Remember that a lot of his points came in "Garbage Time" when we were bottoming out in the standings, and teams were taking us even more lighlty than usual.

At some point you're going to have to wake up and realize that you're the only guy against this signing. and the only reason you're against it is because you have that sig.
This board is seldom consensus positive on anything flames related, but go back and read the thread, then take some time and re-work your sig.

Did Backlund do something to "Where ru Chris O'Sullivan" because he's so butthurt?

Backlund seems like the nicest guy on the Flames.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't want him to succeed in the NHL.
