I feel like Backlund is one of those players that you stay patient with his development early on and use him correctly, he turns into one of those depth players that will help immensely getting you to the playoffs in the regular season.
It's a tough question to trade him because of his relative obscurity and lack of flash...I think you have to keep him. The cap hit wont be too bad and the depth will pay off to get to the post season.
