You should try going through the exercise of using a 15 team trade clause to protect yourself from being traded. When used correctly it is a LOT of trade protection.
There are only 31 other teams in the league.
Only 16 of them are going to be making the playoffs and "buying".
Of those 16 teams, you know a number of them are fully loaded on centers (Panthers, Stars, VGK, etc.) and others have so little cap space there is no way they can fit Backlund's cap hit (Oilers, Leafs, etc.). These are teams that you likely do not need to put on your NTL.
Then, use your 15 team NTL to eliminate all of the other trade options.
Also, seeking to trade the team's captain against his will is pretty skeezy. I do not know why you would hope for that.
