Larkin to BUF

Created by: dtd_tank
Team: 2020-21 Detroit Red Wings
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 3, 2020
Published: Sep. 3, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Who hangs me first, BUF fans or DET?

Detroit picks Rossi at 4 and hopefully one of Raymond/Holtz/Perfetti at 8. This gives us a 1a/1b of Rossi/Cozens in a few years with Bertuzzi, Mantha, Veleno, and whoever we pick at 8 filling out the top 6. UPL is our future in net.

2020-21 is going to hurt without a 1C but we'll get there soon.

I don't think that pick is even on the table -- even for a Turris dump. They'd rather retain salary.

FIgured as much, but that's why I included a Swedish prospect along with the EDM 2nd.

Buffalo fans attack you for thinking Larkin has that kind of a value, Red Wings fans attack you for considering trading their next captain.

Agree.... value is probably there, just not happening.

Any trade that leaves Filppula as our #1 C, I'm against.... ha

I dont want to move him bit thats a crazy return. Cozen you draft Raymond at 4 and the best center there at 8 . you could leave the draft with raymond and lundell or perfetti even Rossi could fall to 8.

That's why I love this idea. I don't love moving Larkin, but if this is a possible return then it's potentially a game changer for Detroit. In a few years...

Mantha - Cozens - Zadina
Bertuzzi - Rossi - Raymond
Fabbri - Veleno - Rasmussen

Pick a top 5 LD next year and you've got a top 4 of...
Power - Hronek
Johansson - Seider

with UPL in net (or Askarov with 11oa)

Sure he would, 3 unproven maybe commodities for a #1 center and future captain who grew up in Detroit and wants more then anything to win there. Sure he takes it 👌

This team is a contender faster with Cozens + 8 overall + UPL than it is with Larkin + Larsson.

Disagree, cozens has done nothing in the nhl and is a lesser version of Larkin, upl struggled in both the ahl and echl, 8th overall pick means nothing if he doesn't pan out. Not giving up thr best player on the team, future captain and homegrown talent for a bunch of nothing. Seriously if it's not eichel then You do not get him and that's the end of the story buddy.

Well I have yet to call you buddy, but I'm afraid you'd be surprised to see the cost of Eichel, buddy. It's significantly more than Larkin.

A hundred million percent true, not even a question about that. But what I'm saying is how important Larkin is to us, and if we aren't getting someo way overpaid like eichel it's no deal
