Johan Larsson is never going to be a top-6 forward.
There: I said it. For many of you, that statement is pretty obvious, along the same lines as me saying “These are the worst two Presidential candidates this country has had on over a century.”
However, there are some fans out there who are wishing that Larsson, who was acquired by the Buffalo Sabres in a trade with the Minnesota Wild back in 2013, will find his offensive game in 2016-17 and make a legitimate case for top-6 minutes, and while I like Larsson, such a projection seems entirely unrealistic.
