All of you "meritocracy" people need to accept that Backlund does not merit the ice time right now.

More than that IMO...the Flames dont need Backlund to move to the wing because of some perceived misgivings on Glencross part (or anyone else for that matter)...they NEED him to be at C and doing what they envision him to do. Both short and long term. He isnt a winger, he is a C. They absolutely have to have him produce in that capacity or they need to find someone else who can.
