There's nothing wrong with Back's being our best player...
Right now I'd say Backlund's overall potential is a higher end 2nd line center. Our team is currently full of 2nd/3rd line players so if Backlund is the best of the group that is a good thing. He is at an age where he should springboard his career to where we always thought it could go. He will get opportunity so if healthy he should continue trending up.
We have some young NHL talent up the middle that is developing in Monahan and Backlund that makes me confident with the future.
