Unfortunately, to date, he has not been paired with any forwards that have the smarts and capability of Tkachuk, except for the one game to end last season. Backlund is a great defensive forward, very much in the Guy Carbonneau mold, but I don't see a player like Tkachuk achieving his full potential with Backlund as his pivot.

Good. Tkachuk is gonna cost 6.5 plus anyway.
He can achieve his full potential after he signs a long term deal.
