Talent Analysis
Not very big at 5'11, 176 lbs, Lasu is a scrappy player who likes to play physical and with plenty of energy. He might not always put up points on the board, but he will always give his best and do anything for the team. Lasu was team captain and can be used in most game situations. He's a good passer, but not a top-notch goalscorer. His hockey sense, technical skills and speed are adequate, but it is his attitude and physical play that makes him stand out.
Future
Lasu will play for Boras next season, Frolunda's farm team, in Allsvenskan (the Swedish second league).
