Stajan's presence combined with the young guys coming up convinces me we can trade Backlund and be in fine shape. Stajan can play that 3rd line role and a guy like Arnold can get his chance.
I get the impression Backlund does have some value around the league as he is only 26 and is an advanced stats darling. Flames need scoring and if Backlund can be part of the package that adds a legit 25+ goal guy then the Flames should do it
