Backlund's presence ensures a stable two-way option, likely anchoring the third line and PK units while mentoring Zary. If Backlund signs for one more year, Calgary can preserve flexibility for a longer-term plan, letting Zary push for top-6 minutes or PP time as he develops. This dynamic supports a balanced fantasy outlook with safe floor for 2nd/3rd-line centers and upside if Zary earns a larger role.
