gold star for USAHOF

49. Adam Larsson

49. Adam Larsson

Adam Larsson was the Fourth Overall Pick in the 2011 Draft, and the Swedish Defenseman made the Devils roster immediately, scoring 18 Points as a rookie and showing shutdown defensive skills.

Larsson dealt with injuries over the next two seasons, but he was healthy afterward in the next two years, where he had a career-high 24 Points in 2014-15 and was second overall in Defensive Point Shares the year after.  Larsson was a proven commodity, but he was traded straight up to Edmonton for Taylor Hall, as the Devils needed offense and the Oilers coveted defense. 

With the Devils, Larsson had 69 Points.
