I personally feel that they should wait and see if Backlund can be that true #2 center. If after this year he does not look like he can do it, they can spend money on a UFA veteran center. Granted i have no idea who is available next ufa market. I do not see Stajan in the flames plans past the trade deadline.

Grabovski >> Stajan
He's not very physical, but he's much quicker than Stajan & has better offensive instincts. It would be a major upgrade.
I would rather have centre depth like this at the start of the season:
Grabo
Backlund
Monahan
Knight
... and then possibly send Monahan back to junior after 9 games depending on how he looks & if OHL play seems more beneficial.
