The Flames are going to have to buy him out at the end of the year, the only reason he has points at all is because he gets PP time. As for Backlund, using the word consistency when it comes to his game is bizarre. He is streaky as they come, usually poor for the first part of the year and then excellent in the latter half. Hopefully that happens as per usual as the Flames could really use good Michael Backlund right now.

While not wrong, these are our # 2 and 3 centers. It is what it is
We get you think Monny is done. You let us know anytime his name is brought up. But the team has the players they do right now and has to try to figure out a way to get more out of lines 2-3-4
Who do you recommend plays center for our 2nd and 3rd lines?
