Adam Larsson: our analysis
2025-26 season: 82 GP, 7 G, 18 A, 25 PTS, 0 +/-, 21:22 TOI. WAR -0.6 (304th of 325) · PAL 7, very poor.
In 2025-26, Adam Larsson, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 7 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.6 ranks 304th among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
On the other hand, penalty kill (5, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (5, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+2.9); his biggest cost: EV offense (-4.1).
A marked decline: his PAL was 21 in 2024-25, against 7 now; his WAR, though, went from -0.9 to -0.6.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 6 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Adam Larsson's story
Raised in Skellefteå, Adam Larsson came up through the local hockey system where his father, Robert, had also played for Skellefteå AIK. He broke into professional hockey with Skellefteå in 2009 and built a reputation in Sweden’s junior and top-tier competitions as a dependable young defenceman before North American scouts took notice.
That attention culminated at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, when the New Jersey Devils selected him fourth overall — the top European-trained defenceman taken that year. Larsson signed an entry-level three-year deal with New Jersey and made his NHL debut on 8 October 2011; at 18 he was among the youngest blueliners to suit up for the club in decades.
His time with the Devils combined steady NHL minutes, stints in the AHL during the lockout and the learning curve of playoff hockey — he scored in his first postseason appearance. After agreeing to a six-year contract worth US$25 million in July 2015, Larsson was traded to the Edmonton Oilers on 29 June 2016 in the deal that sent Taylor Hall to New Jersey.
In Edmonton he settled into top-pairing roles, often logged heavy minutes and became a regular playoff contributor, including a notable multi-goal performance in the 2017 postseason. Before the 2017–18 campaign he was named an alternate captain, the first Swedish player to wear that leadership letter for the Oilers. Larsson joined the Seattle Kraken via the 2021 expansion draft and reached the milestone of 1,000 NHL games in March 2026.
Internationally, Larsson has represented Sweden at World Junior and senior World Championship levels, earning gold at the 2018 IIHF World Championship and a spot on that tournament’s All-Star team. His game is defined by steadiness on the back end: positionally sound, reliably physical when needed and focused on shutting down opponents more than seeking the limelight offensively.
