He's not a 3rd liner.

Ideally, he's a third liner. Playing with Backlund on that third line makes them solid in both ends of the ice, and one of the better third line combos in the league.
I think the Flames have some really solid pieces in place going forward. They have a great first line pair, an excellent second line center, the aforementioned third line pair, and some really interesting pieces to fill out the lineup. The obvious need is on RW on the first line, but there are some interesting pieces in place to fill out the rest of the lineup. Colborne, Ferland, and Bouma add some good size and bring a mix of skill. Shinkaruk showed some decent skill and drive for a smaller player and could be a good player going forward. Hathaway seems to be a perfect fit on the bottom line and some good size as well. Prybil will hopefully develop into a player to fill in on the right side. A couple of interesting names to consider over the next season are Jankowski and Pollack, who both bring size and skill to their games. Personally, I think this team isn't that far off. Of course, the key will be a goaltender and filling that top RW slot. The rest is falling into place.
