There isn't a single piece in this organization that can do what Backlund does.

Beyond that, he's consistently healthy, he guy loves the team, loves the city, and is a great person. You don't trade players like him for the sake of it. The team is better with him on it and gets significantly worse without.
You also don't overpay him for being a nice guy on and off the ice. I wouldn't trade him if the team is in a playoff spot but I would think long and hard about not overpaying him before July 1st.
