Literally would be a Backlund replacement with potential offensive upside if you got him.
The question is, would he ever be available? I'm doubtful, but every player can be had for the right price. If the Flames had a surplus of first round picks and wanted to send one Florida's way in exchange at the draft, that would probably work. Florida desperately needs the 1st rounders as they have none until...*checks calendar*...2026! That can't be right....it is? Goddam it.
I think Zito is pretty high on him though, especially since he's cost controlled for a long time. Gonna be a tough sell.

I imagine an extended Hanifin would be very appealing to them as well, especially with half of their D core set to become UFA's this off season.
An extended Hanifin is worth more than Lundell though IMO
