A good trend from Backlund last season was controlling the puck and driving off the wall. If he can master pulling it off the wall and just ripping it, he'll probably get more outside goals. but the fact that most of his goals come from fighting in front of the net is not necesarily a bad thing.

Agreed, but if he could properly utilize his heavy shot, he'd go from having a 2nd line ceiling to top line potential.
