More importantly this likely means no big upgrade at C and we are riding with Backs as the 2nd line C.
I've said for years this team can be a legit Cup contender if Backlund was the clear 3rd line C but unfortunately that's still not the case.

He scored 28 goals, last year. He's a finisher. Has 9 on a terrible Habs team that is 31st in the league in GF. Could absolutely see this guy catch fire and finish with 25+ to end the season. It's a huge pick up.
