Is he a men amongst boys out there? Will there be an issue with him adjusting to physically larger opponents?

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how he fares against men in the pros but I don't see any obvious problems.
It's not like he's a small physical player like Brule who had a great junior career, but can't seem to transfer his game to the bigger pro game. Backlund may need to just gain some confidence while he plays in the right situations.
