Columbus for instance, they're basically in Matthews-or-bust mode after trading RyJo for Seth Jones. Who knows, we could even pry out a Rychel in the process.
Everything would have to go right (er... 'wrong') for us to get 1st OA so it's just a hypothetical, though.
Backlund is a 2nd line center in the NHL. He's not a 1B but he's definitely a 2. He's the best center on this team and that's really the problem.

I think if cbj is really desperate for a centre and picking #2/3 it might work but than ur going into next year with a rookie and Sam Bennett who hasnt played centre much as your top 2 centres. Also in regards to backlund i dont see him as a very good 2nd line centre, maybe if he has a good winger. Hes more like a 2b/3a
