Something like Malone, or Booth, or something along those lines. Teams that are up against the cap and have a guy signed for 2 years or so. Depending on the contract, Flames add or receive more.
I do think that Backlund for a 2nd would just be spinning the wheels and does little for this team moving forward.

In theory I agree with you but having a Booth around the team might be a distraction. He's not fit in Vancouver and there are questions on his commitment /training in the off season. In that instance, we might be better off with a second than taking on Booth to get a first.
