I think Backlund at $4m would be a better value than any of those dudes.

Don't think so. There's a good reason they missed the playoffs, and a good reason they're letting him go (completely ignoring the extracurriculars). He's one of several players on that team that looked done or close to it. You add in that incident, and I think the best he can do is someone's training camp on a PTO.
