I love Backlund except for that damned face-off percentage. He's really on the low end for a guy who is espoused as a 2-way center.
And for the poster who said it's due to poor wingers...wow, the excuses. We've only recently had bad wingers on this team. Go back to 2012/13 and our top 9 wingers were: Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay (still in peak form), Mike Cammalleri, Jiri Hudler, Lee Stempniak, and Curtis Glencross. Despite being on the smaller side, those are all high quality players that know how to play in the NHL.
