He's a 2C.
Problem is
1) The Flames still lack a true 1C. Monahan isn't that so Backlund can't compensate. We saw first hand what a true 1C can do when MacKinnon outclassed our entire roster singlehandedly.
2) The Flames are still shallow on RW. If our second line were Tkachuk-Backlund-Lindholm for instance, it'd be the best 2nd line in the league.
