The three players mentioned here will probably all fight for the same spots in Anaheim next year.
Just really difficult to see Larsson being used in offensive role with Vatanen, Lindholm/Fowler (one of them is likely gone), and Theodore and Montour ahead with better offensive skill-set. On a different team, Larsson would be a really interesting prospect.
Why can't he be sent to the AHL? He didn't play CHL hockey and he even played one game last year in the AHL playoffs.
