This is an easy no from the Jets. It's quantity for quality. The upgrade from Backes to Bourque/Shaw doesn't really matter because 1) Neither of those guys will be in the lineup when we get healthy and 2) the downgrade from Ehlers to whomever we put there would greatly exceed any gains Backes may give us.
You'll need to give up a 1st to get someone to take Backes and buy him out for you so the trade is really Ehlers for Heinen (Depth forward), Senyshen (not Kyle Connor, bwhahahah) and is pretty much looking like a bust, another high potential prospect LD (which we don't need, if he was a RD than maybe) and a 3rd round pick.
I would contemplate Backes + your 1st for future considerations.
