Right now, why would you flip something for the asset if you aren't sure it's a put me over the top type of deal? This is exactly what Backlund is for any top team at this point.
What's concerning is that the team has yet to deal with the Vladar situation and still has Hanifin/Lindholm conundrums to sort out as well.

Yup and I'd say this applies to Tanev as well (though his health makes it a bigger roll of the dice). He's a perfect stabilizing defenceman.
