Too bad, Backlund, but ...
Mikael Backlund has long been one of my favorite players. The former head coach of Team 16, and current Senator scout, Anders Forsberg described Backlund as the best he had seen since Sedin twins and Zetterberg after Backlund had a playhouse in the TV-puck 2005. Four years have passed since then and Backlund is still a great future promise, even if people might not now see a future superstar in the former VIK-player, but a player that could have a long and successful NHL career.
