If Backes can play EVEN strength center for 12-15 minutes as a third line center and put up 15/45 it works well
to me, he's very clearly the best option at 3C and the roster makes so much more sense
with him there. gives bjork top 9 minutes too, and the line of demarkation between the
top 9 and the 4th line is pretty clear.

Rather have Cehlarik on the 4th line with Kuraly and Wagner or Nordstrom. Acciari to the press box.
I - like most here - really like those lines though.

I expected this would be the case if/when "he" returns. There has been a little chatter that "he" is leaning to making a return.
I hope so. That would bump every back and give us a 4 line team.Rick Nash?
Rick Nash?
Oh, maybe. Boston doesn't need him, however, and I hope that he doesn't sign with the Bruins.
Backes got 10 points EN???I would be stunned if he gets to the 45 point mark. Last year he had 14 goals / 19 assists / 33 points in 57 games but 5 goals and 5 assists of that game from empty net situations. Obviously still very early in the season but he hasn’t looked good through 2 games so far. I really hope he proves me wrong but he didn’t look good last year either, especially at the end of the season.
Really unfortunate we have 3 years at $6 mil per year left on his contract.
Ouch. I’m going to remain hopeful and take the over.what's the over/under on periods that backes remains at center? i'm setting it at 4.

Where is that stat - that is amazing if true
Read it from bruins stats but i just went back and counted from game logs and it’s 3 EN goals and 5 empty net assists
Nice win. Hopefully the other lines pickup some of the slack
Bergeron line cant do the heavy lifting all year long
Going to need guys like backes to pick it up. Zero points so far through 3 games, and In today’s game against Ottawa he played the 2nd least amount of minutes on the team. Basically played as a 4th liner today.
Those stats are wrong then. Because go look at the game logs for dec 19th, dec 23rd, Jan 17, Jan 20, feb 1st, feb 11th, April 7th. All games that I just did a quick scan on again that backes had an empty not goal or assist
