I think a better poll would be whether or not we should keep Backlund as the third line center or Stajan (I think both are good options). I just don't like the fact the Flames are paying the bottom two centers so much money. I think if we find a taker, we should trade Stajan in the off-season. Then we can have a guy like Arnold come up next year to play on the fourth line.

I think next season, we should try to go with Monahan-Bennett-Backlund-Arnold as our centers. Backlund has the experience and quite frankly, Monahan will be in his fourth season by then as well (I believe Arnold is also very good at faceoffs). Gotta say though, it would suck to lose Stajan because he seems like a great guy and someone who everyone seems to love in the locker-room.
