True, but you could still get something at least out of a depreciating asset.
Backlund is the kind of player where I think exposing him doesn't pose a risk of him being taken anyway since I don't think any team is gonna have much interest in him due to his age and contract. He's not an impactful enough player for Seattle to use up that much cap for. So he'll likely not be selected, and should be traded if there's interest.
