Getting greedy asking for the 2nd back.
Personally I think Tavares would cost Backlund, Bennett, and 2 or 3 of our best prospects. I would think the islanders would want a centre more than a Dman in return. They could also Duchene the trade by sending Backlund elsewhere for futures.
If the Flames trade for Tavares then there is no room for Backs. JT would cost $10M AAV and with Monahan at $6.4 there is no room to pay Backlund $5-$6M per on our third line.
