According to the chart in the article Backlund, Frolik, and Tkachuk is the 2nd best two way line in the league after Bergeron, Marchand and Pastmak. Based on this it is not a stretch to call Backlund the 2nd best two way centre in the league or at the very least he is the best value two way centre in the league.
Also, looking at the old fashioned stats Backlund currently has more points and goals than both Toews and Kopitar with similar +/-.
