Backlund is right on his projected development curve. Defensive centers with offensive punch tend to not come into their prime until their mid-twenties generally (I'm thinking Sharp, Kesler, Langkow, guys like that). He is much stronger now and has a hell of a shot. I see him making a lot of power moves to the net with confidence. The points will come I think. I like the way he's turning out.
