Well Backlund was one of the better 18 and 19 year olds at the WJC when he played in the Tourney. Realistically Backlund had a seriously superior U20 resume to Jankowski. Backlund just couldn't stay healthy as a pro his first few seasons. I'll be honest, I personally doubt Jankowski will ever be the player Backlund currently is. Not saying he can't be a player, but even getting a Backlund player is tough to do.
