Backlund will be 28 this year for example. Who do you think is more likely to make an impact on this cores chances at a cup? Backlund or Bennett?

I am not discounting Backlund but Bennett is built for the playoffs. Think of the Vancouver series. He warmed all of our little hearts then much like the Tkachuk does now.
