I don't think you can look at those players in the same role for "futures".
They have said they want Colborne to be a 3rd line center. They said the same thing when they picked up Knight. It looks like they want a big center for the 3rd line.
I think they want Backlund as a 2nd line center going forward. Nothing that he has done this year has shown he is a 2nd line center. He needs to pick it up, the job is his to lose. I don't see the Flames wanting him as a 3rd line center going forward.
