Same thing with Brodie. Extend him at 3.5, and Backlund at 2.5. Together, they should bring us 3 mln closer to the floor.

I'm sure the Flames will be able to find a decent UFA forward and defenseman (likely on a slight overpay), or perhaps be forced to get creative in trading for another team's (hopefully short-term) problem contract. Havlat would be a good example of this.
As for a backup, any of Stalock, Greiss, Johnson, Gustavsson, Montoya or Peters would be fine for me.
