"Adam Larsson believes he will play in the NHL this season.

But if there is pressure on the fourth overall pick in this June's draft, he doesn't feel it.

"I don't think there is so much pressure," Larsson said today. "I feel more pressure from myself."

After two days of training camp with veterans, does Larsson get a reading on whether he is ready to make the jump from the Swedish Elite League into the NHL without playing in the minors?

"It's hard to tell now. We haven't played any games," he said. "There are some things I really need to improve, like adapting to the small rinks and the speed. But I think I have a good chance (to play in the NHL this season).""
