You could easily argue that Backstrom is one of the 10 best players in the game today.

I love the Oilers and Taylor Hall, but anyone who says Hall over Backstrom is smoking some wacky tobackie!

In a vacuum I'd rather have Backstrom.

Looking at your team though I'm just wondering if you can possibly trade some of your other C depth for some help on the wings...because you're very C heavy, especially if Giroux loses RW.

Giroux is RW eligible for ESPN this year, so that helps.

Have to go Backstrom. You don't want to sell this guy low after an injury plagued season.

Really???

Who actually voted for Hall?

Backstrom has broke 80 three times, and has already hit 100. This isn't even close.

You notice that those who voted for Hall have yet to actually put their name to their vote and offer reasoning why they voted for him? Pretty much says it all.
