Mov Backstrom Review- One of the least talked about players in my opinion
Whats up guys- I see this guy not getting as much love as he deserves so I thought I would talk him up a little.
Lets first talk price- his is on the pricey side around 320k or so, but to that I say he is close to 4 MS.
First off he is 18 games away from 700 I think 700gp is a MS?
Secondly he is 26 goals from 200 this is pushing it I admit but he is scoring more goals than he normally does this year.
Third He is 5 assists from lets face it he is getting this for a 91
Lastly he is 31 points away from 700 which should get him 2 a 92
Ok lets talk about how he plays.
Speed - he has a 92 skating stat if you add TW onto that your talking about a guy with 95 skating. I have him on a line with Mov Kane and Sully he has no problem keeping up. A underrated stat but he has 90 endurance which is always nice.
Shot - Has all the major categories between 88-90 and he gets the job done when he gets the chance.
Hands - 95 deking 93 hand eye 95 passing and 95 puck control. The guy is great to center two snipers if you can create an open passing lane he will get the puck on the tape 99.9% of the time
For Defense and Checking he is exactly what one would expect between 85-90 on all stats. One thing is worth mentioning is that he has 86 Faceoff Its not Bergy levels but its enough to win most of the draws.
The guy also has a pretty good Synergy set with OJ, TT, and 1T
To sum it all love the guy one of the better centers I have used this year, Always a threat for POTG or TOTW because he plays with Ovi and company, not to mention the 2-4 MS cards coming this season.
Hope this helps !
