Easy. It's not that he can't, as you point out Backlund did it. It's that it's unusual at his age. He certainly will improve as he gets acclimated to the NHL game, but it'll more likely be incremental. My point is more: if he was a 19 year old doing this vs 23, my future expectations are much different.
