I hope we don't trade Backlund, he is finally coming into his own, and looks to me like a very solid 3C who can get you 20G 25A moving forward.
After his slow start (1pt in 13GP), he has 29pts over his past 45 GP...a 0.64 PPG, a 82 game pace of 53 pts....
I'm sure his number will dip if/when Bennett takes over the 2C spot...but he's still a very valuable piece, a great locker room guy who loves the community.
