And more to the point, Backlund is NOT merely average defensively. He is one of the best defensive centres in the world. I maintain that you re fixating on defensive ability as the pure measure for what constitutes centre depth, and that is only part of the equation.

Who said Backlund was average defensively? Quit putting words in my mouth. He's great defensively as I've previously said numerous times.
Your opinion isn't right just because you speak in absolutes as well. You are the king of hyperbole.
