Pre-Apex, that has shown flashes of being good but hasn't been able to put it all together yet.
Hell us picking up Joe Colborne is a perfect example of that. IMO those two are similar players in terms of where they are in the development cycle, Backlund is actually more proven and has shown more in their young careers.

Ummm... no.
Joe Colbourne - 23 years old - 6 ft 5" - 213 lbs - NHL experience - 33 games
Mikael Backlund - 24 years old - 6 ft 0" - 198 lbs - NHL experience - 187 games
One is pretty well at the apex of the bell curve and the other is just starting out.
