Backlund would jump at the chance to go to Boston as a destination....if he truly does want out.
He would instantly become their most important C even if it was in a 2C capacity as far as icetime goes, would be joining a team that knows the window is closing but still has a ton of good pieces, and has one of the better travel scheds in the NHL, and still has a top5 blueline and goaltending.
They may also be a team that could extend his career at a decent dollar if thats also a consideration.
Im just not sure what they would offer that Conroy and Co. might bite on.
