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.

I agree. He fits the 4th line well, some smaller speed to play next to McGrattan's size, but in this game it's going to be more physical, therefor Jackman makes more sense than Backlund here.
