I think the Leafs are looking for players who can help now. not necessarily a first or prospect.
the only way the flames can make this deal (IMO) is with a combination of both. Cammalleri + Sven/Backlund. If the Flames offer that up and perhaps take some salary off the Leafs hands, something might get done.
Backlunds getting close to the age where we'll know what he is. in the next year or two we're going to find out whether he is closer to Frans Neilsen or Aaron Gavy.
