I see him being the first line centre on the Flames for a few years.

Thats not meant to bash the Flames, or to make Backlund sound super-awesome. But I think he'll fit nicely into Calgary's usual pattern of not-super-awesome 1st line centres, as exemplified by guys like Conroy, Lombardi, Langkow (except the one year where he was super-awesome), and Stajan. All of whom are solid character guys that id be glad to have on an NHL team, preferably in the middle-6.

So in summary, I like Backlund.
Plus I think he really hates the Canucks. Thats the kind of thing i mean when im talking about character.
