I mean cool for Buffalo but I don't think the Flames get anything out of this. You probably need at least a 2nd round pick and/or a B prospect.

Why would Calgary ever do that?

Not even close for Backlund, he gets at least a 2nd at the deadline

I'm not sure what Calgary's lines were last year but I can see where Olofsson could be a good fit as a shooter with Huberdeau and Lindholm. Not sure of the relationship between Lindholm and Olofsson since they are both 28 year old Swede's. If they have good chemistry, they could both extend in Calgary which turns out to be much more than getting the 2nd rd pick for Backlund. If it doesn't work out you can still flip Olofsson at the deadline.

Olofsson doesn't fit what we need, Conroy has stated that our young propsects are going to get those types of roles and we already have plenty of wingers. Huberdeau needs gritty play drivers instead of a soft perimeter shooter like Olofsson and we wouldn't be looking to extend another forward into his 30s. Olofsson just doesn't fit with the Flames in any way whatsoever
