Now before you start arguing otherwise please consider the views of the majority of this board when it comes to players approaching 30. Backlund is approaching 35. Proper context matters which is why you can't compare Backlund to trades which involve 26 or 31 year olds. Compare apples to apples. The market for Backlund has been nonexistent based on reports, so why would you expect there to be a huge swing at the deadline?

Believe it or not, the market is facotored by more than just a player's age.
