Barring an impact trade, which I'm beginning to think will not happen. The big move could have already played out with the new coach.

There is no number 2 center. Unless you mean PP?
Backlund will draw the toughest even strength zone starts and assignments. Period.
Flames need the Jankowski line (or whoever) to score a lot more. To score more like a second line anyway. And need Backlund line to score more too.
