@ThatsALottaGs I’ve seen fans from like 19 teams post about what it would take to get Larkin & all say Detroit has no leverage lol
Given the need for C’s in this league and the contract situation the Wings control everything here.
@HockeySnobElite@Urtoastyy@HkytownHang Can only hope you’re wrong.
Who’s the surefire offensive prospect coming that’s replacing Larkins production and then some on a team that can’t score to begin with?
@HockeySnobElite@Urtoastyy@HkytownHang Yikes that’s a tough reputation to hold a decade in to being the leader of the organization.
- longest playoff drought in the league
I’m fully on board with how he’s gone about it so far but he doesn’t have the luxury of messing this up. Needs to make a major major move here
@HockeySnobElite@Urtoastyy@HkytownHang Are we though? This team has a seriously enormous hole at the center position that gets so much worse when Larkin is gone. Ideally could use Larkin plus some of those assets to upgrade
@BedBeatsSalo@DanSaidThis_83@jpolly22 Exactly. Yzerman isn’t a point in his tenure here where he can trade the captain for a future maybe descent player and a wildcard. Has to be an NHL level player if not 2.
@theTonyFerrari He has a lot of heart but at some point production and leadership 12 years into your career becomes important. Leading multiple late season collapses isn’t a good resume builder.
@MNWildWatcher@MikeGrinnell_ If you want an Yzerman specific example in the GM role check out the Jonathon Drouin situation. Took like 2 years and yes Yzerman buried his ass in the minors for a bit lol different player but Drouin was highly regarded at the time and never panned out.
