The difference between Backlunds first 10 games as a Rocket and last 10 games as a Rocket seems to be a huge jump forward. I know there is something to be said for comming to a new team in a new country, but this seems to be over and above that. Friends of mine in BC (who see him and the WHL in general far more than I) suggest that Backlund could be the best forward in the WHL over the past couple of months or so. Great if that's true.
