So, you could see Bennett forcing the Flames hand to trade him because he is dissatisfied with the logjam behind Monahan and Backlund at centre in Calgary, and yet propose that Anaheim—where the same logjam exists but filled by arguably better players—would be a better fit because— ...why, exactly?

As for Backlund, if this is the way that Brad is going to negotiate(which is best way), than Backlund contract talks need to begin, at the earliest because it will take forever with Backlund.

It was reported in July that Treliving has already spoken with Backlund's reps about an extension. As usual your penchant for misery and panic is premature.
