He's a solid, above average second-line centre, and has been so for some time now.

So Backlund should be playing 2C for the Flames?

Because if that's your opinion, then I've just about lost faith in this fan base as well. Because then what's your problem with this team? Should be making the playoffs regularly/competing well in them.

Some posters on this board confuse me. They're down to fire Treliving and say that their opinions on players are so much different than Management yet say stuff like Backlund is an above average 2nd line C. John Tavares is an above average 2nd line C. Evgeni Malkin is an above average 2nd line C. I could go on and on. Backlund is not like those guys.
