Not sure how that would be anything but positive for Backlund.
Plus the best players tend to have better p/60, just helps you normalize for ice time and games missed.
For example here is the top 10 in Even Strength pts/60 the last two years.
16/17:
1)Sheary (Considering his centers were the next two guys maybe not that surprising, also probably not surprising the Pens won the cup)
2)Malkin
3)Crosby
4)Guentzel
5)McDavid
6)Scheifele
7)Marchand
8)Laine
9)Kane
10)Kucherov
22)Gaudreau
17/18
1)McDavid
2)Marchand
3)MacKinnon
4)Mark Stone
5)Marchessault
6)Malkin
7)Giroux
8)Matthews
9)Kucherov
10)Schwartz
14)Gaudreau

So what you're saying is that BT needs to get a bunch of guys whose firsrt or last name starts with the letter M?
