Lol people getting rakell to then expose Backlund are out to lunch. We have to give up something of value plus make room for rakell so there goes Bennett + or maybe ryan + is all I can see flames letting go that carries cap atm. Then you protect another decent winger only to expose a decent centre in Backlund.
As a result we are weaker down the middle next year with no reasonable replacement for Backlund who can handle the matchups he does night after night.
You're better off making a move like this in the off season so you aren't wasting asset value waiting for quarantine timelines. You aren't forced to expose more than necessary, and if they feel they need to trade Backs it's not like there isn't a market for solid 2 way centres that put up 45 pts/yr. At least get some value for our assets that have some.
