Next year is next year. This year Bouma and Jones have been the most reliable secondary wingers, both offensively and defensively. Without Glencross we don't have a bonafide regular scoring threat on the wing. Backlund isn't the most offensively gifted player either, so I don't think you need pure skill players around him to be productive. Besides which, he just finished an 8 game point streak, so whatever his line mates have been doing, it's been effective.
