Backlund would need to be extended for that trade to work.
Also Duck fans would laugh at our suggestion on a 1 for 1 swap of those 2 players. Funny though when you see the HF thread on Nylander most Leaf fans ask for Hamilton+ which is obviously ridiculous. Nylander is further along than Bemmy and Lindholm/Hamilton are pretty much on par with one another

The biggest difference is that Nylander is a winger. Bennett is an excellent winger, but he's has 1/2 center potential. Sure, today Nylander is better, but only because Bennett is being developed into the more valuable position player.
Lindholm on the other hand is already a 1/2 D that still has more upside. Today the Leafs or Flames make that trade because Lindholm's value is at the point where they hope Bennett or Nylander could be. I don't want to trade Bennett either, but you make that trade if it's available.
