Paul Byron has everything needed to play in the NHL -- and mark my words, he will find a home and be playing come September.
Care to make a bet you won't win?

Most of the posters here were like Jay Feaster and into supervalue contracts, getting a year younger (Size doesn't matter - that DSutter was an idiot!)
Now look? A new president and gm not named D Sutter (who also have rings) saying size/grit does matter.
Do you think Backlund is immune / part of this new, but proper thinking ??? He's here because were rebuilding. He has a long way to go (production wise or else learning to win faceoffs to be a shutdown guy) if hes going to be part of the new look Flames. There were substantial rumors of him being part of deals at draft day that fell through.
Please don't sit on your soapbox telling me that he's a fixture here. Right now (and until he produces) he's a stop-gap on a rebuilder.
