Seems like an odd thing to take issue with since Backlund was having well documented issues with his team in Sweden and seemed to have a better season once he came to Kelowna. It was a well-coached, winning team hard to see that as a bad thing for his development.
The year after he went to the AHL like most prospects would and got a shot at the NHL.
He thinks that would undermine his confidence? Doesn't make sense to me.

Button felt they rushed him into the North American game, IIRC, and that another year in Sweden would have served him better
