"With all due respect to the likes of Jamie Benn, Evander Kane, Drayson Bowman and Brayden Schenn, Mikael Backlund is the most dynamic, electrifying and dominant player right now in the Western Hockey League.
Backlund, like no other player, has the ability to bring a crowd to its feet every time he touches the puck.
When the puck finds his stick, as it does whenever he steps on the ice, magical things tend to happen.
The 20-year-old native of Vasteras, Sweden has just five goals and three assists in seven playoff games, but it's the timing of those goals and the dimension he brings which make special. "
