I guess to each their own. I see Backlund as a streaky player capable of 30-40 points if he has top 6 ice time. He can be very good like he was in the second half of last season or he can be terrible like he was in the first half. Even if Janks can become a 40-50 point guy who can use his size and skill and be consistent he will be a better player. I think his upside might be even higher than that though.
