FWIW a "he said she said" sort of thing. A former co-worker of mine claimed to have had beers with Nilsson at a BBQ or some such. Nilsson allegedly said he didn't have to work hard, and that was for less talented players.
It was that supposed attitude that kept an elite player from being a superstar, and why if #14 is retired on this team it won't be for Nilsson.
Actually most the disagreements in this thread appear to stem from comparing good two way players to great one way players.
It will be very interesting to see where Backs sits on our best lists at the end of this contract.
