Point is you consider moving players when they're peaking or at their best output; currently, Backlund has the right age, contract, and performance to score a home run, especially at the trade deadline.

the rumours have been that the flames have been looking to move Wideman basically since his first season but teams knew what kind of player he was and aren't willing to take on the salary commitment. Because he stinks and the whole league knew it except Feaster and the flames.
