I wish Butler trade rumors would making the rounds. Package Backlund and Butler together. Not that i am down on Backlund, but lets face it he is underachieving way below we all hoped he would from 3 seasons ago. Most Flames fans had hoped back then that Backlund would be the top Center unless they drafted a Monahan at some course over the last 3 years and that Backlund would be around 60 points a year. He may never achieve that as a Center in the NHL.
In the shortened season that helped him but i just don't see the grind of half a season being nearly the same as say this year.
He has to because he can't be effective for a full season as a 3rd line player and that is really what he is becoming if he was on most teams.
Butler should just be gone, Feaster is so damn high praise on this fool, maybe he thinks giving up the blue line and dropping back another 10 feet is the sing of a good D man?
Also get him off the PK it is ridiculous seeing his man being the one left open all the time.
