I know, I know, it's from 'that' board. Nonetheless some pretty positive quotes. Here's something from Backlund himself...
“This is a very good league. I think it is a very fast and intense game in the WHL. There are a lot of very skilled players here. It is a good next step for me, as I want to play in the NHL. I just love the tempo, it is very fast here.”
