Fantasy Analysis
It's been hard to get a read on Backstrom in 2009-10 since the Wild have been such an unpredictable team. They really haven't found an offensive rhythm under first-year coach Todd Richards and that's why Backstrom has a .500 record. He is still having strong performances and isn't going to lose his job. But Backstrom is performing more like a low-end No. 1/high-end No. 2 Fantasy goalie. The Wild TG goes as Backstrom does.
