I'm still not sure how he'll stack up against more everyday NHL competition. I'd feel better if he killed it at the Young Stars but he really didn't. He's making the team though. I'd keep with Backs to start and give him some PP time with Huberdeau as the distributor.
The idea of hitting the wall and goalies figuring out his shot though, I dunno. Wheels could fall off quickly.

The young stars tournament means less than nothing. Literally pointless, Poolparty dominated it and he is a bum. He had a great world juniors, great two seasons in college, great pre season but he didn’t dominate the young stars beer league tourny where guys like him are going not even 50%. He had zero training camp and was straight off of a summer break. This is an absurd take. Maybe I am crazy but ive never seen someone use this tournament to gauge anything about a prospect.
