Backlund has the hardest zone starts on the team, with the highest level of opposing forwards and has the best possession stats of anyone on the team by a large margin at even strength.
He might be even better this year than he was last year. Every time Coleman or Coronato or any of his linemates this year are separated for them, their possession stats crater.
He is aging like a fine wine and is an excellent player.
I have no idea where you are getting that opinion from.
