Mikael Backlund has re-signed with the Calgary Flames. He received a one-year deal worth $725,000 after appearing in 41 games last season due to injuries. Backlund generated only four goals and seven assists over that span, but he will get an opportunity to land a role in the team's top-six group in 2011-12. He does possess talent but needs to be far more consistent.
