Stylistically Backlund with Jankowski would be great. However I dont think a rookie could keep up with Backlunds defensive assignments and the fact he is usually matched against the other teams top line and in the defensive zone. If he could, that would be super impressive, although I wouldnt be shocked as he is coming from a super defensive team in a defensive/physical league. But I dont think he would be asked to early in his career or atleast until he proved he could keep up on another line with easier opposition and offensive zone starts.
