1st for Backlund is a good start but he will likely draw interest on a similar level to ROR so only getting a B prospect ob top of the very late 1st is underwhelming.
Toffoli return sucks hands down. Neither of those prospects are particularly good, I would absolutely expect a mich better prospect attached
Spacek and Khusnutdinov are decent prospects but you clearly overvalue them.
I think ROR is valued more than Backlund so I think the return I have is fair, ROR was a 1st, 2nd and 3rd so Backlund could be a 1st, decent prospect and maybe a 3rd or 4th.
Toffoli is a rental for Dallas, they would not have the money to extend him long term, we traded Toffoli for a late 1st, a former 2nd rounder Heinimanen and a guy who isnt in the NHL anymore, Toffoli had 3yrs left at the time and was coming off a great year in the bubble. Maybe you could get a 1st + Bourque for Toffoli from Dallas but thats a strech imo.
For me the teams that make sense for Lindholm where he isnt a rental are Minnesota,Detroit or Colombus, I think Minnesota has the better prospect pool of the 3 teams hence why I made the deal with them, there are lots of prospect options for Lindholm from Minny including Rossi, Lambos, Yurov, Ohgren and Khusnutdinov.
A trade with Colombus would probably be the LA 2023 1st, Chinakov and Svozil or something to that extent, maybe you can get Sillinger but I doubt they give up on him after 2 years.
