He kind of has a point though, you can't roll into next season with Backlund as your most veteran center. I'm waiting to see the term and cap number before passing judgment. Something tells me this is going to be a short term deal with a 'we need to hit the cap floor' kind of price tag. CP meltdown ensues.

Francis always takes the contrary view (typically in a blasphemous tone)... because it gets attention, leads to web hits, twitter followers and money in his pocket.
If this was 1987 and the Flames traded a bag of pucks to the Penguins for Mario Lemieux, he'd be the one guy saying it wasn't a good deal.
