A busy news week started early for the Calgary Flames, as they kicked off this weekend in style by announcing an extension for analytics darling and FlamesNation's favourite player, Mikael Backlund.
The press release says it's a multi-year deal, but the usual suspects have helped us flesh that out a bit.
Backlunds deal is 3 years. #Flames

I think it's safe to say that it's a deal that fits in well on the club.
