That's what we want, right?
Backlund is worth a mid 1st rounder in a weak draft. Same thing he was. Or a prospect project for the farm and a lower pick.
SOB is worth a 3rd round pick and a career ahl d-man.

I don't agree with that assessment at all. If no GM in the league was willing to give up a 3rd (or a 4th) for Russell, who is clearly better then SOB (and was before this season) and 4 years younger, then there is no chance in hell we get a 3rd for O'Brien. IMO unless he picks up his play we'll be lucky to get a 5th or 6th.
