If this team peaks in five years, Backlund will still be at an age where he will be in range of his physical apogee. He is already emerging as not just a good, but a very good second line centre. How good could he be anchoring the third line even after he starts to slowly regress in his thirties?
Backhand is part of this team's long term plans.
