This team isnt ready to be Backlund free. The guy borderline has a career year and everbody is writing him off? This is the guy tasked with shutting down the likes of Mcdavid and McKinnon. I for one would much prefer to package up Lucic with players/picks (like someone we could loose in the expansion anyways) instead of getting rid of a useful player like Backlund. Plus I feel hes a vital part of the whole team sweden thing we have going on right now.
A 5.35m shutdown 2/3C isnt as bad as a 5.25 4LW
