He would instantly become their most important C even if it was in a 2C capacity as far as icetime goes, would be joining a team that knows the window is closing but still has a ton of good pieces, and has one of the better travel scheds in the NHL, and still has a top5 blueline and goaltending.
They may also be a team that could extend his career at a decent dollar if thats also a consideration.
Im just not sure what they would offer that Conroy and Co. might bite on.

I think if the market is as tight as it seems to be and Backlund truly wants to leave, the Flames might just go ahead and get what they can for him while doing him a solid and fulfilling his wishes to leave the city. Maybe a 2nd is all they can get.
