caron14 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If PDB is still here by next season I think I have a shot at being first line center. I'll play LW on your line bud! Jagr as RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What Hedman had that Larsson hasnt is a coach there to support him. Deboer is litterally destroying Larsson's confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would show confidence - I think he might get in the lineup if he did that. I wish someone from the media would get on him about Sal Chere did, yesterday or the day before. DeBoer basically said that Salavador brings something to the table and pointedly did not say that Salvador was playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghdi Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) He's 21 damn years old. To even insinuate he's "done" is beyond premature. On that same note, he may be done here. For whatever reason he has not grasped whats required of him when he plays and sometimes doesn't seem to be using his head. It may be a case of him needing new voices and instruction. I think a better comparison than Hedman may be Alex Edler. Also Swedish, drafted in the 3rd in 2004 (age 18) and took 3 years of NHL duty before it really clicked for him Jack Johnson is another one and much more comparable to Larsson in terms of draft position, who started very slowly and also took to age 22 before it "clicked". He played on a few really bad teams in LA as well. Kris Letang is another one who was thrown in young and took a few years to "get it" but he also had the luxury of playing with guys like Malkin and Crosby too. The one difference between all of these guys is that by the 2nd or 3rd year they were playing regularly (60+ minimum). There are plenty of guys that have similar trajectories. 2-3 years of regular NHL game time for a young defenseman is not uncommon, which is something Larsson has not had here obviously. I personally think he needs to go to a team that needs him more than we do especially now that we have Severson and Merrill really starting to grow, a team that will play him every night and let him work out his growing pains, a team that is basically bad right now. He's far too young and obviously has a skill set that if he utilizes correctly could be very good, he just may be in the wrong place for that to happen. Its very possible he is a total bust and done, but its just way too early to say that definitively. anyway, time to go catch the PATH Edited October 24, 2014 by ghdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ELIAS6 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Trade him. Move on. agreed, i think he could be valuable to any team but not this one..we just dont really have a spot for him, like it or not salvador is not going anywhere atleast for this season so its better people around here accept that and move on with themselves.

Devilsfan118 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Going back to the SHL? Hahaha. Yeah. He's going to go back to Sweden to make $300,000 and be the best player in that league. Beautiful career move.You're absolutely naive if you don't think a league where:1) He gets to play in his home country 2) His first language is the native tongue 3) He'd be a star on any team of his choosing 4) He'd get constant and consistent ice time 5) He'd have the opportunity to be a national hero wouldn't appeal to him. International players are showing more and more now that it's no longer NHL or bust. Of course the earning potential is exponentially higher in the NHL, but money isn't everything to some people. It's a very real option for him. Adam is a shy kid, and if his options are to resign and be dicked around by the Devils, hop around the United States to different teams, or go home.. You do the math.

Mike Brown Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 No he is not finished. The kid is 21 I know we should trade him though. Teams will be lining up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilNurn Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Maybe it's just me, but I'd give him another entire season, and hopefully some ice time due to injury or something, but he's still 21, give him until he's like 23 before we throw it away (unless there's a really nice return).

He has a tremendous up ice pass read.Fn shame if you ask me Sent from my TAB2 using TapaTalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
