I agree, I'm just saying that on a winning team, he's more of a third liner. I think if you take Tkachuck off of his line and put Tkachuck with a more offensively skilled player he would do a lot better and Backlund won't do as well, I think that's what the goal of the team should be. Right now the Flames lines are pretty constant at being not good enough offensively, they need someone better playing with Tkachuck to have 2 lines that can score and that way Backlund could be a great third liner who could chip in offensively.
