Ayyyy I'm Lahkin' here 😒

It's arguably > the Eichel return so hey what the heck, but Larkin in Detroit does feel like a unique situation and it leans much more to quantity than quality

Reckon Det need to be bowled over big time

Especially to retain that much

So idk it's a respectful offer especially without ext

But just doesn't quite seem the right fit yet

too much for larkin imo

Makes no sense for the Wings

This is a cap situation so bad cap hell is not a big enough way to describe it. Have fun when Strome, Laf, and Kakko want money...

This leaves Wings with NO #1 Center.

Kravtsov is not a Yzerman player, with his antics, akin to Drouin.

Blais is hurt

PC is a good player, but a #1 center, and has not set the world ablaze this year

Robertson is a prosepect at LHD, but Yzerman just took Evindsson in the draft, and he has played well in Sweden in the SHL

Th 1st and 2nd are nice but there will be no #1 centers around to pick.

Overall, Larkin is a decent #1 center, probably slated better for #2 center duty, hometown kid and draw, only true Center in the lineup and is centering a very potent line with Bert and Raymond.

As the deal is nice I just do not think this helps the club now and really hurts it moving forward, especially with retention for two years

i understand. thanks for your time
