I don't disagree. Backlund is certainly not going great, but I don't think the discussion has to be Granlund instead of Backlund or vice versa. I liked that Granlund got to play more yesterday.
In terms of centre-position usage, Monahan's minutes should be reduced rather than Backlund's, especially on the PP. He's been bad at generating shots and chances. Those minutes could and should be be spread out.
