I don't think anyone should be untouchable from the main roster last season, with maybe the exception of Andersson.

I would definitely see what the market in on Backlund though. He had a career year, but likely doesn't have too many more years left in the league. A team that thinks they on the cusp of a championship may overpay for a two-way veteran center, especially if the Flames retained salary.

Not that deals like this happen all the time, but I think back to when the Caps traded Forsberg as a prospect to the Preds for Erat. The over payed to get a gritty veteran with leadership qualities and it helped Nashville for years. I think that was a deadline deal, so a little different, but still, it couldn't hurt to float Backlund's name out there to see what's possible.
