Anyone see him play?
Backlund dropped because of this too:
Sounds like someone overhyped him...
He is extremely smooth, you know the type who can stickhandle at full pace, with grace.
When he were 15-16 dooing it against mens you do of course gets really impressed. But he have never really proven that he can get any production out of his skill set.
This year were big for him. Though a skilled winger like him aren't worth much when he haven't proven that he can produce.
He have some chances left, like the U-18 WJC. If he starts putting points on the board in a tournament like that his value will skyrocket again.
