The confidence is there and he's not a fragile young man that'll lose it as soon as things go sour. Backlund was an extremely fragile young player, bolted from his Swedish team as a teenager, almost bolted from the AHL in tough times here.. but stuck with it and is such a player now.
I've been a long time booster and supporter of his, have tried to be pragmatic about his future with this team but Treliving needs to find a way to keep him past next season. He's almost at 4/season so find the 1-1.5 and get it done.
Center is a foundational position for building a team and Monahan, Backlund and Bennett is strong.
