Sure, why not trade him. He doesn't seem to be going anywhere, he's kind of redundant now that Colborne can take that 3rd line center role, we could use a spot for Knight and we still have a depth option in Blair Jones if that fails.
Of course you'd need to find a taker for Backlund. An okay but not very physical depth center on a one-way contract until 2015 isn't exactly a hot item, unless you find someone who believes in his potential. No way to know how that goes.
