Backlund, but only because Bennett won't be here. Unless Bennett experiences a renaissance level change in his game and production, the Flames will not bite on his qualifier, making him a UFA. If Bennett experiences that renaissance then he would provide greater benefit over Backlund and his salary. So the two are very different situations and not really related. You were accurate in your previous grouping of players. It will come down to Mangiapane, Dube, and Backlund. Backlund doesn't have a chair when the music stops.
