Who was the Center? Drouin? Shaw? Lehkonen?

If they want to play him at wing that's fine with me. He's been a better winger

Yeah but if you drink enough of it you’ll end up losing a toe.

I posted his linemates during his big season to ask you why you thought he was a winger that season, when it sure looks like he was a Center according to the line combinations.

Fast had 20 goals TOTAL in the last 2 seasons playing over 60 games in each. He has no business playing with Eichel over Reinhart. Waste of money and time.

I think he went back and forth now that I’m looking into it. From everything I’ve read, he’s been a more effective winger, and less of a liability in his end.

I don’t think he’s very good. Period. Not sure I’ll move off that stance.

He’s not a natural center, he’s bad on D, and he’s an overall douche bag who’s about to be on team 3 by age 25.

No thanks

It's amazing the number of very good players on such a sh*t team that they will miss if they lose them, ya know, miss these bottom of the barrel days are for the memories.

His career save % is only 913 and was 905 and 906 before this year. They gave up a 3rd and then some other low picks. If he is Price's replacement it will definitely be a dropoff.

How would the Bills defence look if Tre White tears his ACL tomorrow ?

Johan Larsson is tough to play against as he is a selkie level defender. The LOG line made us one of the better defensive teams in hockey.

We are losing our 2nd most important forward from this past season.

Johan Larsson is no Tre White and there will be a market to replace 4th line centers who can play defensively but can't hit the net.

They do have one glaring problem: very few good two way forwards. Someone has to play the Larsson role.

Selkie level might be pushing it though.

I cant wait to see how many votes Larry got for the Selke. He must be just outside the top 3

The Selkie award should just be renamed the Centers who generate 50-70 points award.

Cause if it actually went to the best defensive forward Valeri Nichuskin, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Phillip Danault should have been the three finalists.

Go reread Chad’s article from this morning then. Johan Larsson is a top 10 defensive forward in the NHL.

Jeff Skinner and Connor Sheary had the best stretches of their respective seasons when he centered them this year.

Larsson will go somewhere and become a solid 3rd Line Center and allow a team to use their top 2 Centers in heavier offensive usage.

The Selke was always about 2-way play.
