Good on the Flames for locking up yet another piece of their core. I personally think Backlund is somewhat underrated still. Solid signing.

Excellent second-line defensive center. Really clicks on that Triple-M line. Good signing for money and term.

I feel like Backlund is one of the most underrated players in the league. He puts up similar offensive numbers than Derek Stepan and is a better defensive center. An excellent 2C option locked up for a great value. Well done Calgary.

Very good term for actually a cheaper price than I had thought. I had guessed $5,500,000.

Good for Calgary to lock him up before free agency. He likely could have made more on the open market, but now Calgary has that 3M line locked down for at least the next two years after this one; one of the best lines in hockey.
