How about we stop offering up Brodie, Backlund and Hamilton for magic beans or other teams' garbage?

I suppose this a response at my attempt at a proposal.
I will agree the proposal sucked. My thoughts behind it are that if Backlund isn't signed, a cost effective replacement will be paramount. Perhaps our abundance of d can be used to fill the gap, and perhaps Backlund himself could be of value to a team like the isles who hold strong playoff aspirations still thus season.
I suppose if the flames are willing to part ways with Backlund, they would try to get as far as possible this year then try to fill the void in the off-season. However, perhaps this proposal seems more reasonable should the flames fall off and not be in a promising position come deadline.
