Description

I mentioned this on the Canes board, but a 1-for-1 swap of Backlund and Skjei would have significant utility for both clubs if Hanifin is dealt this offseason.

That backlund trade isn't actually a bad idea. I think it needs a touch up. Skjei is younger and will have extremely high value coming off a 17 goal season... counterpoint, Backlund is just an absolutely filthy player...

I like this a lot from a Flames perspective. It all hinges on the Dallas trade, and I'm not sure they'd go for it. I don't know what Stars fans think of Marchment and his contract, and I think they would prefer to move money out of their defense rather than forward group.

We talked about it this morning, but yes, a Backlund trade would open up three scoring lines for the Canes:

Bunting-Aho-Jarvis
Svechnikov-Kotkaniemi-Necas
Drury-Backlund-Teravainen

And one elite defensive line:

Martinook-Staal-Fast

What a lineup that would be!

Then a monsterous back end of
Slavin - DeAngelo
Orlov - Burns
Chatfield - Pesce (or something to this affect)

Then the netminding Trio...

It's evil. Team would be so freaking deep

Canes and Skjei pass. Backlund doesn’t do us any good as another 3C for the team.
