I will give you that he is miles better right now than Janko. Janko is not ready for 2nd line duty.

Agree with all this.
We have a 500 game sample size with Backlund and he is a 40 pt player who is better than most n the defensive side of the puck.
The way some are going on, it would be akin to trading Crosby off the Penguins if he was to be lost, which is absurd. Would he be a loss? Of course, but again losing him for nothing would be so much worse than trading him for someone/something.
