Do you think a 9th pick is equivalent value for Backlund? I'm not convinced that deal gets made in large part because GMs are consistently loathe to trade good, two-way scoring centres.
I am not dismissing the urgency to acquire a solid goaltender this summer. I am simply not at all convinced that a deal would require the movement of Backjlund in a trade, nor should it. The Flames need him right now, and probably for the next two or three years.
