it does speak to the depth that Feaster and co. have built up and is a good problem to have.
It speaks to something else though... poor roster management by the coach. Backlund is better then Colborne, Better then Stajan, and I'd argue right now a better all-around player then Monahan (Yes, Monahan will quickly become better but evidenced by his sheltering he's not quite there yet). To a certain extent I get giving priority to Stajan and Monahan because Monahan needs developmental minutes and requires sheltering and Stajan is a trade asset that you want to showcase not hide in the back of the shop... but there is zero reason for Backlund to play less then Colborne.
