This just isn't remotely true. People act like Backlund is playing like Kevin Rooney.
Backlund is still a good NHL center that is driving play, his production has just dipped a bit.
He's just being asked to do way too much on this Flames roster - he needs to be slotted more as a bottom 6 center instead of being a top 6 center tasked with doing all the heavy lifting right now.
