I'm of the opinion that it's too late to make Backlund the captain. He is the 3rd line center, and he should be dominating in that role. I'm not sure what the QoC metrics for Backlund this year, but it seemed as though he is playing less against the top lines now. I still think that Backlund is a very hot and cold player, especially offensively, and I don't want that to be the identity of our team.
