Did you people that are labeling him a 3rd line center actually watch him play for the Flames this year or in the worlds?
One step forward, two steps back is not the way to build this team.

I like Backlund a lot, but if you can get a potential 1st line player for a 2nd/3rd line tweener, you make that trade every day of the week. Especially when the Flames are deep up the middle with Knight, Jankowski and Granlund all vying for the same #3 C spot.
