i've been quite disappointed with backlund all season, but would prefer he be given a 100% opportunity to be playing on a scoring line for 2 straight weeks. I would also like to see him played on the wing.

He's a smart player who has all the tools. i just feel the flames are likely to lose any deal where backlund is involved, unless other teams are actually willing to trade assets based on backlund's untapped potential.

i would like to see the lines as:
cammalleri - stajan - d.jones
baertchi - monahan - hudler
backlund - colborne - b.jones
bouma - galiardi - mcgratton

or something like that. i really hope to see a fired up backlund in the next few games now that he's heard the rumours.
