Those things just don't make sense.
I have no idea if you overrated Backlund or not, maybe you did maybe you didn't.
However, ssaying a 22 year old picked 24th overall is a bust because he isn't a top line player currently suggests that you might have.
He doesn't have to "light it up" he has to continue to make improvements in his game and get better.
If he puts up 15 -20 goals and 35-45 points next year I'll be very happy. His two-way game is impressive already for a kid his age.
