JOHAN LARSSON - Left Winger - 27 - $1.55MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 6/25/19
Larsson is a good example of players whose playstyles can dramatically shift based on what level they're playing at. When Larsson's at the AHL level, as he showed in two seasons for the Rochester Americans, he can score at an elite rate, flirting with point-per-game production. At the NHL level, though, Larsson's not able to translate his skill into scoring against significantly better defenders so as a result he plays a more defensive game. He's a versatile forward, able to play wing or take good faceoffs at center, and he has a great work ethic, bringing energy to every shift. He's got good defensive awareness and is able to have strong positioning in his own end, and he's a strong asset on the penalty kill. As has been mentioned before, he's not skilled enough to be a factor on offense and is likely capped at high-teens point production. Still, his penalty killing and overall two-way play brings value, and he's a good, versatile bottom-6 shutdown forward.
