They have given him many chances on the top 6 over the last couple of years. I really like Backlund but other than a couple of games here and there he has not looked like a top 6 center. Nothing wrong with being a 3rd line center but something tells me that they want a big guy like Colbourne or Knight as the 3rd line center.
