my son and I met him a few times out and about in the early days- seemed like a great guy then, and still now

Chris Sutter wears a Backlund jersey I think?

that's an interesting top 5 and remarkable that Fleury has been bumped out of there (politics aside- just stunning to think that Fleury is no longer a top 5 GP Flame given his historic tenure, 4 of the 5 players are post cup guys)

an interesting list- 2 Flames draftees - Backlund and MacInnis (sorry the latter is as much if not more a Flame than a Blue!!!!)

one undrafted legend

and two guys acquired before they hit the NHL ice in deals for Flames legends including the aforementioned #14

12 more games and Backlund will have the most games played in Flames silks by a Flames drafted player
