Backstrom.
One of the most underrated and under appreciated players of the last decade.
Backstrom now and career.
100% and it is not even close!

Dude has never gotten his due outside of the hype around him when Trotz called him a Selke level guy. Way overdue then, and the hype is all gone. He's so damn good.100% and it is not even close!
Your level of hate and bias is not only ridiculous, it's also impressive how consistent it is.
Good for you.
For what it's worth, Pacioretty was 1st this past season in missed shots, Ovechkin second, and Matthews third. Not that missed shots are relevant at all, as it isn't necessarily even a bad thing.
I can totally agree that Pettersson has the ability to surpass Backstrom, but he's got a long ways to go.Base on analytics and a deeper dive, Pettersson is comfortably the better player at the moment (or at least last season). His possession metrics indicate that he caves in the opposition when he's on the ice. It's quite close, I'll go with Petey here.
Career-wise, I lean toward Pettersson but Backstrom is one of the more underrated players of the last generation, if the not the most (alongside Giroux). It will be a lot to ask of Pettersson to trump what Backstrom has done but it is quite possible with his skillset.
Agreed. He’s the Auston Matthews of this next generation.Petttersson will probably end up being the best player to have ever played. His stats, thus far, are outrageous.

Matthews is a year older than him. And he's already better than Matthews.
