Backlund is better. It'd be a scary sight to witness Monahan having to play Backlund's minutes and get his zone-starts. I'm sure Monahan will be able to handle it in 3 or so years.

So this is your shtick now? Dude, we had a resident Backlund hater here already. You're not even being original.

Solid player. Great Flames pick. Should have a noteworthy career if everything works out well. Thumbs up.

I'm not at all a Backlund hater. I literally just defended against trading him in a different thread.

I remember at the start of the series I was unsure if Monahan needed to play with an edge and up his intensity to be successful but I think he proved this playoffs that he doesn't need to.

By far the best Flame and really the only Calgary player that impressed me in the first round.

Defensively sure, but put a gun to my head and I think I take Monahan over Backlund. It's not like Monahan is bad in his own zone. Backlund is elite defensively but Monahan's overall game is stronger in my opinion.

Either way, we have em both and that makes me very happy!

At this point in time I'm not sure I agree. I don't think Monahan has the ability to steal the puck in his own end and take it coast to cost for a dangerous shot in the slot like Backlund can. Backlund is a horse on both ends of the ice. Monahan needs to get faster, but he definitely has the potential to succeed beyond current Backlund.
