He is bad on face-offs, rarely blocks shots and I have not witnessed a big check on another player in 10 years.
How do you know if we would miss him at all till he is gone?
With little to no team success during his time here what would it hurt?
Sure would free up some nice Cap space to get an upgrade.

easier said than done...how many FAs better than Backlund are going to come to Calgary for that contract?
I would potentially expose him though, better than losing Bennett (contracts playing a big factor)
