Yeah, Backlund doesnt get nearly enough credit.

On a crappy team playing 1st line minutes with no other responsibilities he could probably put up some impressive numbers, the fact that he can be a really good 2-way centre, excellent at draws and PKs and still put up offensive numbers says a lot about him.

Earlier in his career he had a lot of injury issues, but right now he is playing really well.

The real issue is that we need guys that can help him do some of the heavy lifting.
