I think the thing with Backlund is that at times, he just looks like there is more there than what actually happens. He seems like a smart player who simply doesnt make the smart play when needed.
There has been flashes of being really good, and then thats followed up with equally long or longer periods of being mediocre and at times very poor.
His time is running thin to get that turned around. Right now he is, at best, the 4th best C in the orginization...and thats not where the club needs him to be.
