Does someone have the advanced stats that show that Backlund was "not very good" last year?
Cause the regular stats for idiots like me show that he was on his usual 50 point pace while playing pretty much the entire season without Tkachuk but instead with Lucic (who happened to have a career revival with Backlund like so many before him) and Nordstrom.
I know he had a few bad games that stick out but he wasn't the only one who had an off night for this team last year.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic but I would really like to know if there is some data to show that Backlund was bad.
I'll give you that there is concern for any player over 30 of a sudden regression in their game, but did it really happen last year for Backlund?
