Interesting.
3rd is pushing it. I don't see a NHL GM paying more than a 4th rounder for a forward player who will only contribute defensively. To win games in the NHL, you gotta get more goals than the other team. That requires having players that can score. You use your premium assets to acquire those players, not someone like Backlund who isn't gonna contribute on the scoring summary.
