The Flames have always seemed to keep guys like Backlund as he is an all-time Flame, but other teams don't do this.
Is Backlund to the Flames anywhere near what Toews and Kane are to the Hawks? Those guys won 3 cups. I know they are rebuilding but seriously Backlund is not Iggy. If we can get a 2nd or even a 3rd, do it call up Zary. See what happens.

I’d rather keep backlund around for the young guys coming up , especially if the teams goes into a rebuild. He’s the guy I want the rookies looking to as a template/mentor, more than anyone other forward on the team.
