I get the feeling management wants to keep Backlund in the fold but if you really want to get that scoring RW I can't think of a better trading chip. I don't think they can fit Backlund long term at $5 million a season personally knowing he's going to eventually revert back to his career normal scoring. Jankowski has potential to be his replacement so it's not like the team doesn't have a succession plan in place.
