What exactly does Kane offer over Backlund? Two years of age and the potential for maybe 10-15 more points?

In Backlund we have a guy who can play a shut down center role against the best players in the league, a guy who can put up points, a leader and a guy who loves playing here.

Backlunds pace: 0.58 PPG
Kanes pace: 0.59 PPG

I'll take Backlund EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
As said prior, Kane is an elite scoring talent with size, power, lacking attitude, maturity and perhaps some work ethic. Backlund is the opposite - nothing wrong with that, but it's why that rare talent is valued by many teams.
