He's the #1 centre on this team. He's a better all-around player than Monahan.
Trade Backlund and the fate of this team will depend on whether or not Bennett turns into a reliable #2 centre. Does management want to take that risk? I'm not sure I would.

Montreal is the obvious candidate. But they're going for it now, so they won't move a contributing roster player. You'd be looking at picks and prospects, with the centrepiece being Scherback and/or a 1st.
