The powerhouse contenders would have Backlund on the 3C. I'd be willing to bet you look at the last 10 cup winners and Backs is on the 3rd line of 80% of them.
I agree Backa can be a viable second line centre, but if we want to win cups it would be ideal to have him on the 3rd line.

For the Flames to build a contender, acquiring a C who's better than Backlund is not a priority. Acquiring another top 4 D and stronger wingers increases the Flames chances way more.
