I think it will come down to how well other guys can play the position. Minnesota was able to make the move after they got Erik Staal to pair with Koivu. The Flames currently do have a pretty good pairing in Monahan and Backlund. To me Backlund has proven himself as a very good top 6 center, whereas even three years ago, many felt he was a good third line guy at best. There's only so much ice time and good line mates to go around.
