  1. whatever you guys are saying, don't worry. Mikael Backlund will be taken care of in Calgary.

  2. This kid was great at the World Juniors. Nice pick for the Flames; I've always liked Swedish hockey players.

  3. The draft isn't perfect.

    I really hope Backlund plays next year. The Flames have some pretty bad salary problems.

  4. I can't believe how much of a steal this guy is starting to look like. He's been a lot better than many of the players in the 5 up or down from his draft position (Perron is a notable exception at the moment)

  5. Analysts are saying this guy should have been in the top 10 but was not drafted because of knee problems

  6. Looking back all these years later, what a player he is. Best shut-down centre in the NHL 25 and under.
