We need a real piece up front on the right side. We have to give up something substantial to make that happen. We also have to send out a big contract in order to afford it. It doesn’t make sense to trade Gaudreau or Tkachuck to do it, as we’d just be trading a hole on the right side for a hole on the left. That means it’s either Monahan, Lindholm or Backlund. Of the three of those options, I’d rather keep the two guys in their mid-20s and trade the 30 year old who still has 4 years left at 5.5M per.

I’m just saying. I like Backlund too, but logic is logic. Lindholm is more than capable of taking Backlund’s spot.
