That's the mix they wanted.
Calgary needs to add to that top group ... whether you see it as a top line or top three forwards, they need an improvement in forward 5 essentially.

I like the idea of pairs and one of the players in the pair should be a center. Backlund is a good player but personally I think a playmaking/scoring center with Tkachuk makes sense.
Do you believe Backlund's salary is a killer in the 3C slot?
