There is no denying that Backlund's offensive game has started to diminish, not that it was ever his strength to begin with. He still however has the legs and smarts to still to really control things at even strength. He's now an ideal 3c, as opposed to the 2c he was before but that's ok. That is why the trade for Frost makes so much sense for this roster and why it was so important for Conroy to address it.
