That would be far from ideal. Whereas, if Backlund is exposed it will be because a younger, cheaper player has made him expendable, which would also likely mean that the Flames and their young players have come through a spectacular season.

This is something I could live with. If both of them develop to the point that makes Backlund that expendable it would be hard to be upset despite the loss to Seattle. I guess I'm thinking in a way that doesn't put much expectation in them all breaking out. If either of them stays on par with previous results it doesn't make much of a case for them to supplant Backs. But if those 2 and Dube could all just go ahead and have some breakout seasons I would greatly appreciate it.
