I've seen a lot of these posts about the Flames. Your situation sucks, and I genuinely feel for you all. Guys have stated that they don't want to re-sign, but your GM can't get proper value on his assets because the market sucks. That explains why you all got peanuts on the Tiffoli deal.
You've also gotta think about what these trade partners value and how desperate they are. Boston absolutely needs a long term 1C or 2C, but they are not desperate for one this year. Backlund doesn't meet the long-term part of the equation either. There is no way they throw away their best young assets for a 35 year old center unless they think it puts them over the top. Those players are better off either on the team, or being used in a trade for someone who better meets their needs.
