I don't think anyone is anti-backlund. He's a heart and soul type player who loves playing in Calgary. No doubt.

But is he still progressing or is this about it? Disappearing acts and injuries interrupted by moments of grit and brilliance?

If he's only getting 4th line minutes and that will continue, then he needs to be moved. He's being paid too much and still has too much potential value to waste away on the fourth line.

For the record, i hope he does get it together and takes the next step. Bennett is too green to be that offensive second line threat that brings it day in day out... Perhaps he can, but it can't be expected.
