I am looking to move from a position of strength to add to a position of need and avoid giving a big contract to a guy that will be 29 when it starts. Having said that if Backlund signs for $5M or less you keep him. If he wants more I prefer the Flamesmuse that money on their young forwards and top 4D.

If, and big if, the Flames can land a legit 1st line RW and starting goaltender, doesn't the window to be a true contender open next year instead of not for 2 to 3 years?
Maybe not, i dunno.
But expansion might provide more opportunity to acquire that talent than would normally be the case in any other year.
