I don't dissagree, I was just thinking he'd be very appealing to other teams, entering his prime, but if the Flames feel good about their younger centres upside, maybe a deal for Backlund to increase the depth on the back end when it come to top end prospects.
Regardless, I just hope he plays well and either stays with the club putting up great numbers or is leveraged for great value.
