If you give up next year's Calgary 1st round pick you are probably giving up the number one overall.
So you are trading a Seguin-like 17 year old player who will make 1/10th as much and Backlund for him.
That trade makes no sense.
Seguin is a fine player. But next year's first will be too. And what's the rush?
Boston is dealing from a place of weakness. Chia has contracts he wants out of.
I doubt whatever team lands him will be giving up a king's ransom.
