Re: Malkin or Backstrom
Malkin over 82 games would have scored 440.75, whereas Backstrom scored 432.75. Backstrom has played under 90% of a season ONCE, he’s one reliable person to have on your team.
If you are concerned about Trotz implementing a more defensive system which would lower Backstrom’s value you wouldn’t be the 1st to question it. This groupd of people I think are wrong. Trotz is just a really good coach, who uses his players to their strengths, Nashville’s strengths just happened to be D and goalies. Kariya, Legwand, and a few others had 80 pt seasons for Nashville.
I’m on a more cautious side of top players, I rather guys who play 77+ games a yr. Malkin isn’t a guy for me unless I have other people to pick up the slack.
Personal preference on this one I’d say
