Backlund may not be likely that he becomes a true number 2 centreman, but he's certainly better than where he's playing at and could be a very good 3rd liner as well.

Because playing with Iginla and Tanguay boosted those point totals and on pace points are a pretty dangerous thing to use as a couple of good/bad games can skew it.
