Can’t see the Wild having any appetite to trade a 26 year old top 4, maybe even top 2, RHS D For a 31 year old C. Surely they will receive better offers and will want more.
I’m a Backlund fan, but let’s be realistic here. He’s probably got 2-3 years left at his current quality of play. Dumba likely has 6-8. The Wild are going to have to have Monahan, Hanifin, or a 1st coming back. Any other combination of players would likely have to include players that are under 25; Mangiapane or Dube.
