IF the Flames are leading the division at the trade deadline then you keep Backlund and go for a playoff run.
Then you hope that he is so good in the long playoff run that the Flames can't afford him.
It is the same as trading away the late 1st or early 2nd round pick that the Flames would likely get for him.
