Thanks for info. Just goes to show how horrible the trade season is this summer. A summer where we have 2 top 6 centres and a #2-3 dman on the block, and can’t get much of anything in return. Not sure I like the , if playoff spot , let him go to ufa part. That said it’s exactly what I think will happen with not just backlund , but with hanifin also if in playoff spot.
