In that case 102 > 98 Sutter goals
Sutter has been durable and a better player for longer.
Hopefully Backlund keeps improving but he has only been a solid NHL player for a season and half.... 80 games in Backlund seasons. After the lock-out season Backlund was 1 season away from finishing his career in Sweden.... and the first half of 2013-14 it was looking like he was done. He had some sort of Come to Jesus moment in December 2014 and has been a lot better since then.

Backlund was very good the lockout year. He became the player he is today in that season IMO, and I thought it was unfair when Hartley was scratching him to start the 13-14 season.
