Define his "true value". Is that based on what he was hyped to be? Or is it based on what he has been?
The Lightning demoted Connolly again... maybe if you are lucky you can convince them of the merits of a swap, even if Connolly is a couple years younger. Otherwise, part of the value in trading Backlund would be to open a roster spot for someone like Knight or Reinhart to get a look in Calgary.
