I see some Dylan Larkin apologists are saying that Wings fans will rue the day we lose Larkin just like Leafs fans have with Mitch Marner. That's an asinine comparison for three reasons.
1) Marner is much better than Larkin.
2) The Leafs were actually making the playoffs and Cup contenders with Marner. So, they had somewhere to drop. What's the worse case scenario in Detroit? We don't make the playoffs? Again? Oh, the humanity.
3) Marner was a UFA who the Leafs lost for pennies on the dollar. Larkin is under contract with a very team friendly contract in a league with a cap moving towards 130 million.
And do you think the same Yzerman (who pissed off Larkin by holding his feet to the fire for said team friendly extension) is just going to grant Larkin his wish and trade him to Minnesota or New Jersey without getting a high quality return? Yzerman is a son-of-a-bitch and if you think he is going to get bullied by a dude who cried when Bertuzzi was traded, you are sadly mistaken.
It's such a bitch move by Larkin to pull chute on his team as the Captain. It's not like they've been a complete bottom feeder lately.
The Red Wings won't even be able to get the best possible return because Larkin will leverage his NMC to go where he wants.
Dylan Larkin has never scored 35 goals.
Dylan Larkin has never put up 80 points.
Dylan Larkin has been the captain of a team that has had collapse after collapse after being in playoff contention in March.
Red Wings fans thinking Dylan Larkin “deserves” ANYTHING are jackasses.
He’s been a big part of the problem. And if he has been ass hurt for three years because Yzerman played hardball on his contract and traded his toothless MAGA boyfriend than I’m guessing he’s part of the reason this team is as weak minded as a stormtrooper.
Good riddance. Get some good prospects and build around Seider and Raymond. Maybe someone who can score at even strength.
I’ve been an Yzerman critic for a few years but this is one of the biggest sports IQ tests in a while.
@TECleveland @cremieuxrecueil Despite some bogus grants, a lot of government is like this cartoon. I bet this "small team" would find a line item for "screwworm sterilization" and delete it, not knowing that they just devastated American farming: https://t.co/OAnAkxDSEK
