Despite one month of ood play, Mr Backlund has not yet established himself as a bonafide NHL player. I think he has to maintain this level of play to avoid having to go overseas to continue his career.
I hope he makes it, but consistency is an ongoing issue for him

Hahaha wow I actually didn't even catch the last part of your post. Backlund having to go overseas?
You must have missed the reports that several teams were calling the Flames about Backlund. He will never be a star but he does all the little things right and is emerging as a leader. Backlund will have a long career in the NHL. Teams are always looking for a defensively responsible center who can pot the odd goal.
