He's a third liner. Christ, this is reminiscent of when Jeff Shantz was on the team. Yeah, he put up good numbers for the team he was on, but he was nothing more than third liner on every team on the planet. I really like Backlund, but the comments about his abilities are crazy. He's no different than Bouma a couple years ago when everything he touched turned into goals. He ain't as good as his. I bets lead you to believe.
