Greene-Larsson
Larsson will start the season on the top defensive pairing. Last season he only scored one goal and nine points over 37 games with Skelleftea HC of the SEL. Regardless, while manning the point on PP1, the former fourth overall pick will produce at least 20 points in his rookie season.
The Dallas Stars have signed defenseman Jamie Oleksiak, the team's first round draft pick (14th overall) in 2011, to a three-year entry-level contract.
Last season the 14th overall pick scored four goals and 13 points in 38 games for Northeastern University. He left college this past offseason to play for the Saginaw Spirit. Expect him to make the big club within a season or two.

Larsson is officially on the team, invest now while you still can. Last season he only scored one goal and nine points over 37 games with Skelleftea HC of the SEL. Regardless, while manning the point on PP1, the former fourth overall pick will produce at least 20 points in his rookie season.

The Devils could benefit from a good, right-handed shot from the point. Should Larsson work out, his fantasy value should skyrocket as he is listed with an excellent supporting cast.
Eberle heeded the advice of a nutritionist this past off-season and reported to the Edmonton Oilers training camp with three per cent less body fat and more strength.
A fitter Eberle should, in theory, produce more on the ice. Last season, Eberle only scored 11 points through his first 27 games which could have been a lack of preparation entering the season.
Salvador was paired some with Larsson today in practice: "I think we’ve got a gem in him.”
if Larsson has a strong camp, he should make the team. Expect a similar impact to that of Victor Hedman in his rookie season, where he 4 goals and 20 points in his freshman campaign.
Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello announced on a conference call this morning that the team has signed 2011 first-round pick Adam Larsson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
