Backlund replacement maybe

Kind of a mediocre pick from my point of view.

Don't see him being a good offensive player at the NHL level.

I suppose the Flames need centers.

Just with a trio of high skill scoring Right Wingers available, for which the Flames have none, it seems odd. I feel all of Bourque, Gunler and especially Perreault would have been significantly better choices.
