Good riddance -what a joke this guy was - whomever suggested the nucks even bother trading even the 5th for him should be fired - awful awful decision

I laughed when even Larsen said he was surprised there was NHL interest.

 

God awful player.

I'm sure b3 was quoting someone, but In what hockey universe is Larsen a PP specialist?  IMO, he was a skinny and lesser version of Yanick Weber.  It was a stretch when Benning was trying to sell the Canucks hopeful that Larsen was going to provide some help on the PP.

It didn't work out, and wasn't for lack of opportunity. I love how these players spin it like they weren't given a shot, when he was handed 1st unit PP time. Sure, you could argue the Hall hit derailed him, but he was beat out for a roster spot by a pair of rookies. 

 

My only regret would be the pick we gave up for him.
