I thought Theo was the D man coming up to play not Larsson
Wasnt Montour ahead of Lars too?

They sent Theo and Montour down because Larsson has played well so far in training camp. I think its more likely that Theo and Montour were going down to the minors anyway while there is a logjam at defense. If Larsson doesn't make the team, he is going back to Sweden not the AHL so they are probably just hanging on to him for now in case the Lindholm situation isn't figured out soon. I think Theo is better than Larsson, but Theo can come right back if needed; Larsson will (most likely) be in Sweden the rest of the year.
