I honestly believe we need to trade Backlund for a top line RW. Not a top-six F who can play on the right side, I mean a top line guy who IS a RW.

Backlund plus whatever for a top-line RW
-or-
Backlund for a second-line RW plus whatever

Ryan for cap space to pay for top-line RW
-or-
Ryan for less cap space plus a pick if we only get a second-line RW

We need a real piece up front on the right side. We didn’t sign one, so now we have to trade. In terms of players that have high enough value to get a big piece, AND we can survive losing them, it’s only Backlund and (maybe) Hanifin.


Edit: If all we get a second-line RW, then we go with this
