Because a large portion of this board, and management seemingly wanted him gone up until December of last year. Lots of guys weren't willing to let him be something other than the 1st line player we hoped we had when drafted. Patience was shown, Backlund was allowed to develop and become a good solid two way option.
Backlund is a good example of patience. Didn't come into his own until 24. Doesn't matter if he played two years after being drafted. I hope you're not being grating on purpose. You're a little over top when it comes to Jankowski, I'm not the only one who sees it.
