Yeah I know, but what I am saying is that ending up with Backlund as one of your bottom 2 centres would be a great thing for the Flames.
And personally I am very intrigued to see what kind of year Backlund has. His confidence is at an all time high and is recognized by the coach as one of the leaders going forward. I bet he's having a monster summer of training and will be great next season. So I just want to see what happens with him and given his current upswing it would a tough pill to lose him.
