This is brilliant because Bailey and Backlund's contracts are very comparable and the comparison shows that Treliving did very well.
As you can see (courtesy of Rob Vollman):
Backlund plays against slightly more difficult competition.
Backlund starts in the defensive zone approximately 8% more often.
Backlund gets dramatically better results:
Backlund has a CF% of 55.34%
Bailey has a CF% of 46.28%.
