Can you explain to me why you think Galchenyuk is a worse player than Backlund?
Galchenyuk is a 23 year old, 55-60 point player already and scored 30 goals last season. He is a big body, so it's not size that you are talking about.
Are you going to say Backlund is better defensively? That is true but Backlund is also currently 5 years older and at 23, was definitely not as good defensively as he is now.
Fair enough, that you like Backlund more or think he is a better fit... but the whole "YUCK" thing is weird. It's not like people are suggesting Backlund for Byron.. Galchenyuk is a former 3rd overall player who has improved every single year that he has been in the league.
