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%.
