Backlund has been getting by on previous reputation for awhile now. He can get stats to appear like he’s doing things because he actually is very talented at passing and stick handling and reading plays. But does not pass the eye test as every time I see him he’s floating around, generally being lazy.
If he wanted to he could be very good and very effective. Suspect that’s what this message is from Sutter. Just try, Mikael. That’s all you have to do, put in an honest effort.
