I've had high hops for Backlund for a very long time. However, since drafting him, be it by injuries or confidence or whatever, he has never lived up to the player I thought he could be.

So frustrating, he shows flashes of brilliance, but most of the time is barely noticeable.

Maybe I am not seeing what others are, but I have had no problem with his ice time getting cut down.
