Our most consistent player has been Backlund, but to your point I am not convinced a 18 year old rookie who has been averaging 14 mins/game will be able to play top line minutes on his off-wing and remain as effective as he has been. Kid's been good but his line mates have also been really good. Can he provide a spark to the first line? Maybe. But I am more inclined to give more experience to the top players than a rookie.
