I'm sure there's an unofficial handshake agreement to extend after the two years and he hands off the captaincy while plays another year, but if some one is interested now, trade him too.

Backlund is at the top of the team in pretty much every play driving metric.
Have literally zero issue with Backlund's effort so fart this season. He and Coleman are bankable for showing up every game. They're both just under 60% in expected goals.
