Peitrangelo is about as untouchable as a player gets. Untested testy rookie and a UFA, no matter how good, would be a starting point from which to add, let alone Backes.
I wouldn't bet against the idea of a package deal both ways though. There is actually a good chance that Drouin ends up being the addon player to net a bigger fish. Change the player to Shattenkirk, and you might be on to something.
