The one and only Johan.Larsson.

ARZ 52 8 6 14 -13

Career 445 46 65 111 -54

Cody Eakin

BUF 46 3 4 7

Career 632 106 138 244 -10

Only on this site do some (one) lament the loss of the great Johan Larsson

I was told Hayden was poope. Looks like he does limit chances pretty well as you say. Think he's a lock to make the team or maybe a RCH callup if he clears?

Ruotsalainen- we surely need a nickname for this truculent winger.......

I'm going with "Roots" as he has the tendency & tenacity to get under opposing players skin.

I dont see why they would want to start Eakin over Hayden. Hayden doesn't score but neither does Eakin. Hayden is decent defensively which Eakin isn't. Hayden punches people in the face and Eakin doesn't.

Seems like an easy decision to me unless they really love faceoffs but Okposo could take draws for Hayden

Cody Eakin was ECHL quality last year. What do career stats have to do with anything ?

Johan Larsson has been one of the better defensive forwards in the NHL since he has come into the league.

Are both replaceable ? Yes absolutely.

Larsson is a much better player at this point in his career then Eakin is and it’s not even close

Hey, now Eakin did score 22 goals a few years ago. Credit where credit is due. Ralph may have been his problem. I don't know. The great Johan Larsson never approached that number nor did he approach 41 pts in a year. I think his mullet could be slowing him up.

Hey good reads. Just a suggestion you should put the players you already profiled at the end we can see the lines.
