I could see a SOB for Tootoo swap being plausible. They're on nearly identical contracts. Maybe SOB and Backlund could be packaged to Detroit in some sort of cap dump deal, seeing as the Wings have more than a couple warts in their cap structure that I'm sure they'd like to be rid of, and have almost no room to play with.
Quincey, for example, doesn't seem to be doing so hot in his second stint in Detroit. Would SOB+Backlund for Quincey, Tootoo, and a pick/prospect be out of the realm of possibility? Just some food for thought.
