I like Backlund, but his offense does not fit a second line C role. He is a very good third line C. I really don't see the correlation with Bennett and Backlund. You can have both on the same team IMO. Bennett most likely will end up being a #1 C, while Monahan a very, very good second line C and then Backlund at #3 is perfect. Stajan at #4 and Flames are set.
