Backlund is the kind of center that makes teams better. Reliable in all situations and production is rising. Sven easily has the skill to be a top 6 forward and is very young, just needs his overall game to be refined for maybe another season. Those aren't just 'okay' assets. Do they equate the value you'd get from ROR? Maybe not quite. If you're looking at equal value it'd be Monahan+. But we can't offer them that.
