I'd rather 82 games of the better defensively Backlund than 50-70 games of the bigger Hanzal. Trading a center for a RW so you can sign a center in FA makes little sense if you can just sign a RW in FA.
Hanzal has also hit 20G once in his career, while Gallagher has never hit 50 points, so not sure why we're labelling either of them as that type of producer.

All those names you just listed are on the wrong side of 30. I trade Backlund targeting a player that fits our core age. Yes your correct Hanzal has only hit 20 once but that's because of injuries. Gallagher will pot 50 points atleast on our top line. I guess it's more of a production of what they would do in Calgary.
