Maybe the Flames could trade some of their signed 4/5/6 defencemen for Schenn (and possibly a crappy contract) and allow the Flyers to free up some cap space and playing time for other guys. This could work for both teams depending on the guys offered (Butler/Cundari/Breen?).
I know it doesn't look balanced or even from the Flyers side but the option of moving out some dollars for NHL defencemen at cheaper salaries may balance things out, even if the Flames have to include Backlund as part of the package.

I doubt you're a Flyers fan since you've apparently forgotten that they've signed Lecavalier to be their second line center and you're looking to trade Brayden Schenn for a depth defenceman. The Flyers aren't going to trade away Schenn for a marginal player. Potential #1 centers are so rare that other teams would offer up much better prospects/players for him.
