How much longer will Philip Larsen be part of the Vancouver Canucks?
Through nine games, Larsen has managed only three assists and is minus-7. You could try to blame his team-worst plus-minus on his partner Luca Sbisa. Except Sbisa himself is only minus-1.
The Canucks knew what they were getting with Larsen. He was never going to be a stud in his own zone. They brought him in solely to improve the power play. If he could do that, and at least keep his head above water defensively, most would consider him worth it.
