Fair enough, but confidence is something else young players need. You don't gain a lot of confidence by not playing 1 period last game and then all 3 tonight.
Let him go down.......get stronger, play a ton of minutes, rack up a lot of points. I'm hoping if Backlund is activated tomorrow Sven is the guy to be sent down. He's a huge part of the future, he needs to be playing a lot of hockey.
