Backlund was a thoroughbred... He was one of the best players in Junior when he was with the Rockets as a 19 year old. 13 goals 23 pts in 19 CHL playoff games. As a 21 year old (Janko's age) he had 25 pts +4 in 73 NHL games and was being pushed off the puck way too easily.
Not even remotely close to this point in Jankowski's career compared to 21 year old Backlund.
