That's hardly calling him good in his own zone.
Just pointing out that with his matchups he held his own last year, which is easily backed by numbers. And that calling a players "a bag of suck on hockey skates" is way over the top and silly.
And the Andersson question? No it doesn't. Andersson had the hardest matchups, and is a different stratosphere.
But why would a person that sees things backed up by stats ever ignore stats to take the word of someone else's eye test that isn't backed by stats? Honestly ... why?
And here you are suggesting Backlund is a fourth liner ...

That is what I said I would run down the middle of I had my preference. Point out where in that quote I specifically said Backlund is a 4th line player? You are moving the goal posts. I think numbers have their place in hockey but I don't use them as the be all end all in my evaluations like you do.
