All debating aside whether these prospects are good or bad, I think that since they're taking Backes, BOS should overpay by default. Giving up "debatable" assets shouldn't be an option.
Their biggest need is right handed C or generally right handed forward prospects as they are lacking in that department. This makes Studnicka an extremely interesting option for them, their best players now and their best forward prospects are all left handed. Bjork is also a left handed left winger, the one kind they're absolutely filled with and have zero need for.
I'd say replace Bjork with Studnicka and take a 3rd from MIN in the deal. Backes+Studnicka+Zboril+1st for Zucker+3rd might be an overpayment from BOS, but as I said in the beginning, in order to ship Backes elsewhere they need to overpay.
