Well lets hope he has a better career trajectory than Yakupov! lol
I'd gladly take the chance on a player with his tools as well, I think playing with someone like Backlund could take care of a lot of the defensive zone mistakes and allow him to get more shots on net (i read on another thread that advanced stats show he doesn't shoot anywhere near as much as he should).
If we did acquire Frk I would still be expecting one additional signing that would bring in a proven PP guy and/or right shooting forward though. My money is on Perron, mostly because i think Neal can choose from many suitors and he's possibly signing his last contract.. I hope I'm wrong though because I think Neal would be an awesome fit here.
