The Toronto Sun details how in Oliver Ekman-Larsson, the Portland Pirates have a defenceman that Phoenix Coyotes coach Dave Tippett believes can be among the elite in the league. But his skill on the ice has been matched by his enthusiasm here in Portland where he seems committed to assuming a leadership role.
"It shows a ton about him," Coyotes assistant general manager Brad Treliving said. "This is where he wants to be. He wants to play and he wants to lead by example.
"This is his peer group and all these other guys no what kind of a player he is, they saw what he did in the playoffs. The attitude is one thing, but they watch the work he puts in and practice and that brings a whole lot of juice to the room. Not only is this guy a great player, but he's first on, last off. He's a natural player to follow."
For a 21-year-old, that attitude may be rare. Selected sixth overall by the Coyotes in the 2009 entry draft, the native of Karlskrona, Sweden played just two shy of 100 NHL games last season, thanks to the lengthy and impressive playoff run.
"I want to be a leader and if I can be a leader down here and play my game, it can only help," Ekman-Larsson said. "I try to help the guys on my team. That's what I want to be in the NHL too. This is a good start for me."
