3rd for Vladar

Could also prob get more for Backlund as a playoff rental.

Backlund is 34 and doesn't fit our window, Not trading the 41st overall pick in a deep draft for an aging Centerman.

Detroit doesn't want Backlund. Look elsewhere.

I'd take Backlund for that price personally

But a team who are more in win now mode would likely pay more than the Wings for a guy like him

Not interested.

Maybe a 3rd but he's 34!!

i don't think Detroit is interested and you could get so much more for Backlund

Could play 2C or Copp/ Kasper 2C and Backlund 3C. He's a really good defensive forward that can put up 40-50 points. I don't think the price is terrible but would rather a future second and maybe someone like Neiderbach going the other way. He likely gets a nice return at the deadline, probably more than what we would pay now.

I’d give up a 2026 3rd

Hoping Backlund stays and wins the cup with CGY

No way to that 4th line. Ritchie is a Defensive & Penalty Taking Liability, Nosek isn’t anything special and Hathaway will be 32 in Nov, so unless he’s going to play LW for $1-1.5mil/yr x 1-2 yrs, there’s better options, including Duehr at 4RW

Wings pass, player makes sense and not giving up assets for this

Noth teams decline, Backlund is worth more but Detroit isn't close enough for him to make sense
