Backlund has been one of the biggest contradictions of the "merrit" system this year. He has outplayed all our centers so far this year, but gets bumped down the depth chart once Colborne comes in for no reason at all. Then the same happens when Stajan comes back.

I dunno man.
Backlund I feel has played a very average game this year. He doesn't really make any nice plays, doesn't really control the play, doesn't really win faceoffs... I can live with him being scratched.
Like most here, Im looking for him to breakout, and I just don't see it yet. Hopefully scratching him gets his butt in gear.
As it stands, my evaluation of him has him centering the 3rd/4th line with little production.
