I like Turris as a player but he's going to be 30 to start the season and his 4 years removed from scoring 60 points.
The team doesn't need another Backlund, having Backlund as the #2 guy is the whole problem.
The flames need a 75+ point centre. Spending assets on anything less is just wasting assets at this point.

I'd be okay with a young 50 point centre with real potential to become that 75+ point centre (a la Lindholm), but that isn't Turris.
