No, I’m arguing that Backlund has, because that’s the comparison you used.

What Kadri has that no other C on the roster has is simply the offensive ability to play good opponents without getting caved. That’s not leadership, but as I think you yourself mentioned, it’s beneficial for young wingers.

‘You see in Calgary, [Ryan] Huska is no joke. It’s good. He’s really set on a specific model defensively. If you can be reliable, you have the freedom to play offence. Now playing for Rand, who is a pretty similar style, I think earning his trust in the d-zone has been something I’ve been progressively trying to do.’
