Backlund is an important piece of the future. He's not Monahan, Giordano, or Brodie, but he's a heart and soud guy who loves being a Flame and will add a fantastic 2-way game to this club for another 6+ years I hope.
If the Flames draft a Centre this year then in 3-4 years they will have Reinhart/Bennett, Monahan, and Backlund as the 1-2-3 centres down the middle. That's awesome.
