I've been saying it for a while now, but trade Backlund before we end up with a $5M third-line center. Also move Ryan for cap space.
Backlund + picks/prospects/whatever => top six RW (Nylander, Reinhardt quality)
Ryan => cap space
Tkachuk Lindholm Dube/RW (from Backlund)
Gaudreau Monahan Dube/RW (from Backlund)
Mangiapane Bennett Simon/Leivo
Lucic Gawdin Simon/Leivo
To me, Gawdin is a Yelle waiting to happen. At the very least a much cheaper Ryan.
