I am fine with this, but this is a different argument than suggesting that Backlund is overplayed, or that his contract is a bad one.
However, I would counter that even if the Flames keep all three of Monahan, Backlund and Lindholm at centre, he still doesn't qualify as a #3 centre any more than one would regard Evgeni Malkin or Steven Stamkos as #2 centres.
