If that is the rumored trade offer it would be a steal for the Flames as long as they got Spezza re-signed. Spezza is a major upgrade on Backlund and all you have to add to the deal is a bad contract and a 2nd or 3rd round pick. I agree with others saying I don't think the Sens would make the deal.
Of course I don't see this fitting with the Flames long term plans. Spezza could be gone after a year whereas Backlund has a few RFA years left.
