Hopefully the Flames can get some value for Backlund, and trade him before the season starts to a contender. Backlund wants to win, and he is certainly not worth big money and term he may demand this late in his career. Backlund will be missed for sure, but the Flames have never made it past the second round with him in the line up. He isn’t part of the re build or re tool, unless it’s on a short term contract.
