What I could see being an ideal scenario for the Flames over the next year.
Jankowski is the first line centre for the Heat and puts up really good numbers showing that he is going to pay off down the road.
Backlund continues to evolve as a very solid 2 way centre and sets career highs in goals and assists next year.
With one year left on his contract and a Fran's Nielson type contract waiting for him the following summer the Flames sell high and trade Backlund. Hopefully the deal has typical Treliving wizardry included
Jankowski slides into the 2 way 3rd line centre role and fills the role even better than Backlund due to his size and smarts.
