I sure wish Kadri and Backlund would spend a summer or two working on faceoffs.

Such an over rated concern.
The difference between a top 25 face off guy and Backlund is about 4.5%. Over a season that's 65 more face off wins or less than one a game.
Why not win more of them, but give me a guy that can make reads in the triangle in his own zone over the face off wizard 100 times out of 100.
