I view backlund’s benching as motivational. The best Backs we see is when games are intense and he’s emotionally engaged. Backlund has been flat recently, and Sutter just sent him a hell of a message.
That being said, this entire “bench good players and play bad players because they skate hard” is an absolute sure fire path to the bottom of the standings and a great way to lose the dressing room.
I’ve seen enough of Lucic this season. He’s the #1 guy who should come out of the lineup (after Mackey).
