The Buffalo Sabres signed forward Johan Larsson to a one-year extension on Friday, good to the tune of $950,000.
Obviously, this is good news for Larsson – I wish I was making close to a million US dollars next year at my job! – but the good news comes with a caveat: show us you are worth a long-term contract, kid, or you’ll be out the door come 2017.
That might sound harsh, given the fact that Larsson is only 23 years-old, just finished his first full season with the Sabres, and set a career high for goals (10) and points (17 ) in an NHL season.
