Johan Larsson is really an interesting player to dive into. The 26-year-old center has been a staple of the Buffalo Sabres bottom six the last few years and people have varying degrees of thoughts on him as a player. Admittedly, I was one of the people that wanted him off the roster prior to this past season.
This season, however, he had the best bounce-back season of any player on the roster. It may not have reflected in his production, but it did in the on-ice impact. Now, he’s a restricted free agent and Jason Botterill is left with a decision to make.
