Probably ok for a thread bump as Backlund skates in his 1000th in Flames silks
becomes the 11th Calgary Flames draftee to hit 1000-
Macinnis, Hull, Nieuwendyk, Roberts, Suter, Morris, Fleury, Phaneuf, Stillman, Ranheim, Backlund
that's nice company. and yes 4 of the previous 10 were drafted in 1984!
I can think of at least 3 (St Louis, Giordano, Macoun) that were also broken in by the Flames as amateur FAs.
Brodie needs a full extra season, Monahan has rebooted his run to 1000
