Backlund is as good as gone, and Frolik wouldn't be far behind.
Again Ovie for the price in the article is a move you make but the Flames likely lose some important pieces to add a guy turning 32 with a history of not being able to win the big game

They lost in seven games to the Pens largely because Pens had better goal tending...meanwhile the Flames with all the players we can't bare the thought of losing got swept in four straight in the first round. There is no guarantee's in life, certainly the Flames with Ovi have a better shot at winning the Cup than the Flames do with their current group (assuming the low acquisition cost)
