Saw the sportsnet story regarding it. Backlund's quote and rationale was the Allsvenskan plays eleven more games to the Dub's thirty-five.
I like the move, it is a great way to monitor his developement and challenge him with some of the most competitive junior hockey on the planet.
PS, won't he end up playing with Jamie Benn??? Perhaps, dynamic chemistry will develope between the two.
Go Kelowna Go, but not at the expense of the hitmen.
