He’s having one of his strongest seasons, especially the last few months. They would be crazy not to take him.

Too much heated rivalry.

He’d be good. Or does Backstrom get a look now that he’s back playing in Sweden, and playing pretty well as well.

Gotta think he would be the pick but that just may be my homerism lol
I just want to see our captain get the chance to represent his country!

He’s on their radar. I hope he gets a call and shows them he should have always been there.

They’re missing out if he doesn’t get the tap.

Hope so, he deserves it.

That’s an ouchy.
Backlund needs to go, imo. He has proven he can still play against better pivots and shut them down/produce.

Wow, that absolutely sucks for Sweden, but yeah, at least there’s quality replacements around still. Would love to see Backs go.

They should take Stenberg instead

I asked ChatGPT who the likely injury call ups for Sweden would be and it didn’t list Backlund. I asked it why and now I’m a little offended at how mean it was about our boy.

They should definitely be giving Backs a call.

The other question is, has Backlund continued with the drug testing plan that’s required to be eligible. That’s a big requirement.
He deserves to go. His play has been incredible this year.
