this means no larsson?

Pencilled in as the 13th forward, regardless if we sign Larsson.

Likely 4C if they don't sign Larsson, but they will give Asplund a look there as well.

I don't expect Larsson back; few do.

2 years, barely over the league minimum AAV.

What's not to love about that deal.

(Hope that doesn't mean Larsson is absolutely gone.  It shouldn't.  But now they have a worst case 4C that isn't a train wreck.  Leaving 3C as the one C that doesn't have at least someone known to be adequate pencilled in.)

I don't see the two as linked, really - Larsson wasn't the 4c by ice time. I could see Lazar replacing the 4C by ice time.

As of now, he's the 3C.

PSA - *Larsson wasn't our 4th C*

So it's going to be a very slow build.

Anyways, good signing. He seems like a good dude. I always picture a guy lifting the cup once we bring them in, in a Sabres uniform. Lazar would be a hoot.

I like it. Feeling like our 4th line will be Asplund - Lazar - KO. 

I can't envision a world where Zemgus or Larsson don't want to test free agency and go to a more competitive team. 

It also blows my mind we have 3 more years of Okposo.

I'm getting that sense as well.  I think we need to add another cheap depth piece to challenge Asplund and maybe be the 13th forward if that's the case.  And we need to be cognizant of who on the roster is capable on the PK, cause we're lacking there.

I saw $1.6M & was like theres no way that was per year. Love the deal, 2 years at $800k is less than I thought it'd take, but only by a couple hundred K.

Great move by KA. Locks in a good depth player who is solid at faceoffs & who seems genuinely happy to be here.  Hoping he's a late bloomer & he continues to work on his game & can be a solid bottom 6 player for us.

KA getting things done, i like it!
