The Sabres have reassigned Johan Larsson to Rochester (AHL).

Larsson was a healthy scratch in the last three games and had just one assist in 17 games. The Sabres had an extremely young team, but changed that by sending multiple players to Rochester and juniors. Larsson like many of Buffalo's young skaters has a bright future ahead of him, but is not fantasy relevant at this time.
