Joki would have been an average second line center but really we needed to see what Backlund and Cervenka could do with those minutes to progress towards the future.

I agree with chosing to give Backlund more ice time. As for Cervenka, our scouts and Weisbrod did a horrible job in scouting him. He is not an NHL center, he is one of the softest players i have ever seen.
Also you don't sign Hudler and Wideman to big contracts if the flames were rebuilding.
