By no means should the team trade Backlund but at the same time that is one of the most unrealistic comparisons I have ever read, why not compare him to Forsberg while we are at it.

Wow. I suppose heart of the team isn't a comparable either. Don't be so smug as to think the ONLY tangible, comparable traits are goals and assists. As far as growing to be an integral part of team success goes, and perhaps a guy who bleeds team colours for life, I sure as hell do believe Backlund is right there with the two players I mentioned.
