Yeah, IMO, he's just not a powerplay player and you're better saving his minutes for 5-5 where he plays his best hockey.
Having Ryan able to take draws and make passes on the PP has freed up Backlund from that responsibility.
Incidentally, I hold the same belief for Bennett. He is at his best playing 9-12 minutes per night so that the quality of his minutes are more intense.
