Backlund has had flashes of brilliance before and then gets injured or disappears. This year is a little different because he's really matured physically and is actually able to win battles and control the puck; however, he is still inconsistent. If he can maintain his current play to the end of the season, the Flames might have something, but at this stage, if there's a good offer for him, you consider it.
