Daniel Larsson

Prospect Grade: 7.0 C  (About Prospect Grades)

History

2005-06: He was among the best goalies in  Allsvenskan  and had a very good WJC for Team Sweden.

2006-07: He entered this season as a clear-cut backup, but did manage to steal a few games during a few hot streaks. He played in 24 games and set respectable numbers with 2.53 in goals against, .911 in save percentage as well as three shutouts. He was also mentioned in talks for a tryout on the national team, but he didn’t get a chance this season.

2007-08:  Rookie of the year in the SEL. 

Talent Analysis

Expect Larsson to continue his excellent development curve for the next season as he fights his way up the ranks in Sweden. He will most certainly make a few appearances with the national team as well which will help his development. He’s not very big, but he uses his excellent positioning and reflexes to stop most shots. He also has a very quick glove hand, but he needs to work on his rebound control as well as shot recovery.

Future

Will be signed in 2008 and likely brought over.
