Has he shown to be any more elite of a scoring talent than Backlund so far? His ppg is a little better but it's not like he's at a different level. It's not like he's Patrick.
He's 23 and has been in the league for a while. Time to stop relying on potential and start showing up to play. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's a bad player on the ice. I just wouldn't trade Backlund for him.
