5.5 million per X 5 years makes sense for both sides. The Flames basically give the Stajan contract to Backlund + promote Janko.

Win-win.

After next season, the Flames will likely need to move Brouwer and Frolik in order to pay for Tkachuk and Bennett's contract extensions, so you deal with that then. Losing centers is never a good idea. They are always the most difficult piece to find. Look at our system beyond Janko. There isn't one that's viable at the moment.
