Those are some really rough grades. I would give most of them higher grades, but the one I will object to here is Backlund. He has been an absolute rock for us this year. I think he is one of the most underrated players in the league. I give him an A with the caveat that Sutter shouldn't send him out in the shootout. I think Backlund is equivalent to Tanev in the forward corps we have just been lucky *knock on wood* to not see what we look like without him this year.
