He's our best defense man. At times he's a tiny bit inconsistent but that's to be expected with the fact he's an 18 year old rookie. Not putting up massive numbers yet by any means but I believe that will come in due time. Won't be shocked if he doesn't break through offensively this season. And despite that...
He got the secondary assist on Henrique's overtime goal last night. Henrique's heroics overshadowed the fact that Larsson actually created that play by getting the puck to Parise the way he did.
Larsson will be an incredible player in a couple years.

Larsson has been great for us. Eating up big minutes and playing the most out of all dmen some nights. He still makes some bad turnovers but he's 18 so that is mildly expected.
He never really put up major points so I wasn't expecting too much of that.

His decision making is the only area he really needs to work on, but as I always say, that'll come only with experience. So in other words, he's just awesome.

He's been an 18 year old playing the most difficult position in the toughest league in the world.
He's been 'decent' in terms of overall elite defensemen, I suppose,

His decision making is still X times better than decision making of any of his (+/- one/two years) rookie class co-members. And that`s impressive if you ask me.
Just saying though. He has some obvious flaws and will work on them to get better asap.

His defense has been solid the last few games other than a few mistakes. I would like to see him take an end to end rush to see if he has any deking type skills.

I thought he was slow reacting to certain situations, but his passing is really good. He can make some moves to eliminate an opponent behind the net, impressive. He doesn't look like a 18-year old rookie.

The only thing he does that bothers me is when he gets beat or makes a bad turnover he doesn't rush back right away.
He has been very good. Less offensively productive than I expected, but that will come eventually. Defensively I would say he is beyond reproach.

His patience is unheard of for a rook. There's times where he looks like he's coasting in an important defensive situation, but then you realize that he's reading the play and making sure he doesn't commit to a play too early, letting himself effectively be in two places at once.
He's been outstanding. Very smart player.

I can see him exploding offensively in the second half of the season when he's feeling more comfortable.

When talking about Larsson's lack of offensive showings such as rushing up the ice with the puck, keep in mind when Niedermayer first started with the Devils he wasn't given the green light to join the offense when he wanted to either. In the past the Devils have generally wanted their d-men to take care of their own end first before showing offense. He is only 18 and a rookie where in time I think the team will let him move the puck more and join the rush more once he learns more of the defensive side of the game.

Sometimes he's so calm it looks like he's not hustling. But that's just the way he is. He's a very interesting player. I'm excited to see the kind of player he grows into. It's remarkable what he's doing while playing on a smaller size rink against the best players in the world.

Meh, we dont need that from him. When's the last time you've seen Nick Lidstrom do that?

We need at least capable PMD who can put a shot on net after a rush to create chances for other forwards driving to the net.
