Because young, big, fast forwards who hit like freight trains, are great on PK, and can chip in offensively are irreplaceable pieces to a rebuilding, small team in the Western Conference.
Monahan and Bennett will be long term 1-2 C and Stajan, Colborne could step into Backlund's role as 3rd line C. Backlund is good and he could get a great return but is immediately replaceable and we have good long term depth at C. Shore, Jooris also can play bottom 6 C immediately.
