Those 7 Eastern Conference teams all want to take the next step and you need to create a bidding war on your pieces.

Carolina’s pick is 30th.
New York’s pick is 23rd.
Detroit’s pick is 17th (also have 9th but I doubt they are willing to trade it.
Ottawa does not have a first round pick.
Buffalo’s pick is 13th.
Columbus’s pick is 22nd.
Pittsburgh’s pick is 14th.
Colorado’s pick is 27th.
I would say Carolina or Colorado are good fits for Backlund with their picks. Unless they want Lindholm in which case it will cost them their top prospect/young player (Jarvis or Newhook, for example).
New York, Detroit, Columbus, and Pittsburgh all have 2023 first round picks that seem like a reasonable return for Lindholm. Depending on which team/pick, they will likely have to add in a young prospect/player.
I’m not sure what Ottawa could offer other than whatever they get for Debrincat. They could get a 1st round pick for Debrincat that they could then flip to Calgary in a package for Lindholm.
