You just trade him.

I would hope the Flames braintrust isn't like some addict who has to throw out all their alcohol because they can't be trusted to make a smart decision if they keep Backlund. If they are so dopey that they have to take a 4th now instead of a 2nd at the trade deadline because they are worried that come January/February they won't trade him because they might make the playoffs... then we've got a terrible front office.
