I love Backlund. He's one of my favourite players, think he's super underrated as a 3rd line center in this league. And you win with players like Backlund on your bottom 6.

But its hard not to like what our scouts have been picking out of the talent pool the last few years. If the Flames are actually trying hard to move up (and have the Flames ever moved up in the last 20 years?) then I feel the scouting department must be putting the pressure on. They must be pretty high on Puljujarvi.
