Backlund + a defenseman should be able to net us a legit top 6 winger. The more I think about it the more I think he's expendable and is a good trade chip. Colborne, Stajan, Jooris, Bouma, Granlund can all step in at 3rd line C. Arnold, Jankowski coming up.
I like Backlund but trade him for a greater team need please.
