I don't disagree with that - he likely will be. But I think saying he's done with the team is a bit ridiculous - he's 24 and made some bad plays. There are a lot of Flames who have made some bad plays this year - I don't think trading one of the younger ones on the team in year 1 of a rebuild is going to happen.
I mean - stranger things have happened - and it is the Flames, but I think that's a pretty big knee-jerk reaction to a bad game by a player.
Plus - Backlund played quite well the past few games.
