Well sure, Backlund's best offensive year was 2016-2017 when he had 53 points in 81 games. That was Tkachuk's rookie year. He's since had a 45 point season, and most recently a 47 point season.
Backlund also had 47 points in 82 games the year before, playing mostly with Bennett/Frolik or Colborne/Frolik.
Tkachuk is great, but comparing Backlund's last season without Tkachuk to those with him his point production changed by +6, -2, and 0. Not as much of a difference as I expected.
