Well, that is really the meat of it. I don't think his ceiling is that high. You do.

No stat can't answer that decisively. Time will tell how it goes.
Against Colorado, on a line with Cammy & Hudler, he was fantastic & created both our goals. The next game he was back on the 4th line with 10 mins of icetime. When we were modestly successful to start the season Backlund was playing top 6 minutes & Stajan was injured. You don't even need stats to see these things. Watching the actual hockey games does the trick.

I know I see potential in Backlund which hasn't been realised, based on his playing style and ability. The way he plays is much more important than his stats line. I believe, given time, his work ethic & style of play will achieve results for this team. Even if it doesn't come to fruition it's worth a gamble because he's still young.
