Backlund is a better player

Who is our #2 center if Backlund is #3? Backlund was pretty clearly the #1 guy in Monahan's rookie year.
The ppg changes drastically when you have malkin/Crosby and Monahan ahead of you on the pp.
Backlund dropped from 11 pp pts in 2013-14 to 1 pp pt last year? He isn't that much worse of an offensive player... just moved down off the #1 PP.
