That makes him forward #9 at best.
Jones, Bouwma, and Jackman will be line #4.
That leaves Horak, Backlund, Comeau, Nemisz, etc.... For that last spot. Something does not add up.

Comeau and Nemisz are wingers, so I don't see them making Backlund expendable. Basically Backlund will have to beat out Horak in camp for the 3rd line centre spot and if he happens to lose that battle he'll probably be the 17th forward to start the season. This is assuming of course Feaster doesn't bring in another centre before camp.
