We’ve run the man over enough times here to avoid rehashing expectations when David Backes was acquired. Two seasons ago, ending with Backes playing just 57 games due to injury, most of us realized that the old Backes had already retired, leaving the Bruins with a forward struggling to find his footing on his new(ish) team.
