@Dan_Powers_@EmptyNettersPod Difference is those players are generational talents. This one just thinks he’s generational. Reason why he was a bottom 6 player for USA and those weren’t.
@JimCosta_ The lions didn’t get better each year. They were a mess for years. Rebuild after rebuild. Yzerman showed up and laid out a plan and executed.
@JimCosta_ Players around the league might actually want to come now. Different GMs, different coaches in last 10 years, same problem. Players around the league know you’re not winning anything with Larkin as your leader. Stripped Larkin of the C and he turned around and demanded a trade.
@PBSportstalks@bobwojnowski Agreed, I think yzerman saw that too which is why they pivoted and started building around Seider/raymond. Larkins ego couldn’t handle. He thinks he’s a superstar 1C.
@JimCosta_@313MZK313 Stafford played with his heart on his sleeve. Willing to play through injury and regarded as a strong leader. Larkin has never been one for accountability.
