I think C4L put it nicely. Backlund is a player that will have more value to his team on the ice than in the trade market. He's quiet, but extremely effective.
At the same time, I don't see him having huge trade value. Now, if he was just a piece involved for a trade for a young RWer like Toffoli, it's a different story. Nevertheless, I don't see that happening.

As I said, Backlund would be part of a package to obtain a top six forward. I'm not suggesting he brings back one on his own.
