Fantasy Summary

The 19 year old Larsson, listed at six foot three and 203 pounds, is a sturdy, puck-moving defenseman with an accurate shot. Larsson will spend the 2023-24 campaign with the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL, and then will be on to the NCAA for the 2024-25 season. Drafted as an overager, Larsson will need plenty of development time over the course of the next few seasons, as he attempts to earn himself an NHL contract. Luckily for Larsson and the Rangers organization, the club holds his signing rights until August 15, 2028. If it all comes together for Larsson, he can become a big, bruising bottom-four NHL defenseman.

January 2025 – Larsson is in his first season of NCAA play this season with Northern Michigan University. He has appeared in 19 games for the Wildcats, with zero points and a minus-nine rating, after posting four goals and thirteen assists in 59 games played a season ago with the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL. Although Larsson is a player that will need plenty of time to develop at the collegiate level before attempting to turn pro, he has posted some good overall numbers in the past, scoring 34 points, to go along with a plus-23 rating in 50 games played in 2022-23, his most recent season of J20 play in his native Sweden with Vasteras IK. Look for Larsson to spend a few seasons at the college level before potentially emerging on the Rangers’ radar as an option for a pro contract. Brendan Ferry
