I think Backlund is likely to be the exposed forward, and if he is, he is going to be selected by Seattle. If this does happen, the Flames will lose a tremendously good player, but it also testifies to the depth that Calgary has at forward. For fun, try to put together an expansion list for the Oilers without snickering at the fact that Zack Kassian is locked in before even getting to the sixth forward.

My position is that although Backlund did have a great second half last year and is a good player, I would argue that he was a better player in his twenties.
