IMO he would check a lot of boxes for the Flames.
- Speed at Center Ice
- Skilled
- Defensively Responsible
- Mean and Nasty (sometimes too much)
Not being able to throw Jankowski and Monahan out there for any of the real tough match ups really hurts and having Backlund, Kadri, and Ryan as centres that you can trust in your own end would really help Backlund not get burnt out.
Could see something around Janko + maybe Kylington going the other way.

Flames are not really in a place to be absorbing cap hits. Brodie for Kadri makes more sense to me pretty even money and the Leafs get a top 4 right side D without giving up one of their young core.
