Just have to wait unfortunately until some cap can be freed up elsewhere.

As happy as I've been with Backs this season I can't help but feel he's the one to go. Maybe Bennett if management begins to sour on him and they want to roll with Backlund. Bennett could also be a more appealing trade chip to land a younger top 6 forward.
