The running defensive joke that is Connor McDavid is + 114. And real surprising that Backlunds best two +- years are ones where he’s eligible for an extension....87.8% of his +- numbers can be allocated to years that he's eligible for a contract extension when offsetting y/y to date. Leadership material to be sure. Leader of his own locker maybe.
He’s the epitome of a player that gives 80% effort on his best night and 65% on his worst. And he’s underrated?
The fact that he’s actively campaigning to be the captain is an absolute joke. He’s the poster child for the participation medal.
