It seems this team goes as far as Backlund can take them. He looked off for well over a month, before the injury happened. This team just keeps taking on water without a line that can effectively neutralize the opposition's top forwards on a nightly basis.
I also keep catching myself on the thought that we are really missing a hard matchup defensive defenseman like Tanev, Ekholm, Roy, or McDonagh. A steadying presence on the back end as much as Backlund is up-front. Hopefully Conroy has someone in mind in the offseason if the plan remains a retool. I wonder if Cam York can become that in a few years? He's just an intriguing target now that he's in Tort's doghouse.
