Backlund is a 3rd line center forced to play on the 2nd line.

The other issue though is he isn't really suited or a good #3 center.
He isn't big, doesn't kill penalties well, isn't good in the faceoff dot. He can't really shut down the other teams top centers.
The is nothing wrong with Backlund. The problem is he does everything pretty good, and nothing exceptional.
