Backlund has more value than Stajan but Backlund isn't that much better than Stajan. We likely couldn't trade Stajan but keeping him wouldn't be the worst thing. I think Backlund is tradeable and losing him really wouldn't slow the team down.
A package of Backlund with Russell makes a ton of sense because we'd want a forward but we'd be giving whichever team an OK forward to replace who we'd get.
