Playing career

Lasu was selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the fifth round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and was part of the Swedish team at the 2009 World Junior Championship in Ottawa, Canada.

Lasu isn't very big, but plays with a ton of grit and energy. He leads by example on the ice and can deliver a few big hits. He can skate really fast and is excellent on the penalty kill. Is a great shot blocker and can do a bit of agitation at times. Can play all three forward positions.

After two successful seasons with Kärpät, Lasu left after the 2018–19 campaign, opting to return home to Sweden signing a four-year contract with original club, Frölunda HC, on 10 May 2019.[1]

Personal

Lasu is a cousin of former Frölunda HC player Magnus Kahnberg.[2] His father is Tyrone Lasu.

gollark: The interacting-with-humans bit though.
gollark: It seems like some of this might be hard without *actually* creating dangerous AGI.
gollark: And they use relativistic cryoapioform cooling, so that isn't actually a problem.
gollark: Why would that be useful? The source wouldn't care about how it was modulated; you would really only just cause the heat sinks to warm up marginally.
gollark: (osmarks internet radio™ lasers are not in fact radio-based and thus masers, but merely encode osmarks internet radio™ as phase-modulated X-rays)
