No one wants to give Backlund away - but if it's in the name of getting better, so be it.

Edmonton and Winnipeg are exhibits A & B of teams that have been far too reluctant to move on from some of their top prospects and it shows as the teams wallow in mediocrity or worse. Teams simply aren't going to give you great players or assets for your junk and when things aren't working you need to eventually make a big change or two.
