I think it's pretty clear Byron needs to find an extra gear in order to find himself on this roster beyond this season. There's going to be an odd man out, and I could see someone also getting dealt at the deadline as everyone gets shuffled down. IMO jooris has done more than impressed and can't be moved. A big question is going to be how does Backlund fare when he comes back into the fold? I still think he's above Granlund, but how much longer does he fit in our top 9, with Jooris, Granlund and Bennett soon to be in the picture?

I like Backs a lot so I hope he comes in and does really well.
