Article comparing Larsson to Sami Pahlsson.  Interesting read.

2 minute interview with Johan.

I think Larsson is absolutely an offensive threat, but he's more of a playmaker.  Gionta and Foligno did a decent job sending his feeds toward the net (with a slight amount of velocity), but Kane could actually cash those in every now and again if he was skating on Larsson's wing.  Plus, those two would be impossible to play against.

When the young better two-way talent makes the team, I see Larrson and Foligno playing 4th line with DLo, and Girgs playing 3rd with two better wings.

Which two wingers in the system right now do you see fitting that 3rd line role?

I can't fathom why some people want Girgensons centering the third line over Larsson.  Larsson is a much better defensive player than Zemgus.  If our third line could eventually be Kane-Larsson-Girgensons, then our forward corps will be set.
