All I'm saying is that he does have the advantage of playing on the top powerplay unit, which is a far cry from playing on the "second line". Compare Backlund (2 PP points) to Tkachuk (24 pp points) and now contrast that with Backlund (43 EV points) to Tkachuk (53 EV points). Ryan led our 2nd PP unit in scoring with 7 PP points whereas Gaudreau led our top PP unit in scoring with 27 PP points. That line in the sand is pretty vivid.
