A team that isn't stuck in the stone age is going to come and pick Backlund up for super cheap.

Yes, you most certainly are asking for the system to be unfair in Backlund's favour. He was getting second line ice time for his first eight games. Even though he wasn't scoring, wasn't generating offence, was generally underwater on the faceoff dot and generally invisible, he got the ice time. He started to lose his ice time when Colborne started to show his own skill.
The system was fair. And it still is. But Backlund needs to go out and make a difference, even if he only gets 8 minutes. Because Hartley has already shown that 8 minutes becomes 20 very easily if you deserve it.
