I had higher hopes/expectations for Backlund. He has turned into a pretty decent two-way player, but we need more out of him. He needs to improve offensively, quite honestly he doesn't create all that much consistently...and that's his biggest issue: consistency. I'm happy with the progress he's made in playing a more complete game, at times he can be our best C on the ice in all 3 zones, but I think it's time for him to step up the offense. Him playing on the 4th line sucks tho, but right now Colborne has simply won that icetime. His big body is very useful on a line with Cammy.
