I still think it would be a mistake to trade Backlund. His value is at an all time low, he fills an organizational need, and is still only 24. Unless he is traded for a similarly high touted young defensemen who has struggled in their current situation. Trading Backlund for picks is a step backwards IMO. A second round pick has little chance of becoming what Backlund is and will take at least 3 years.
