I still think there's no way a guy who parachutes in as a UFA should be wearing an A over a career Flame who has been here almost a decade like Backlund so I think there would be some justice in Backs getting the A back if he's out but not much solace in that if the team is worse.
Why would they claim someone off waivers or make a trade?

Versteeg back to RW, Ferland into the top 9 and Bouma with Stajan and Hathaway. Since we have 2 healthy forwards in the press box there isn't even a reason to call someone up unless there is another injury/illness.
