I'm not really sure I understand the attitude vis-a-vis Larkin around here. The guy's in the 90th percentile in almost every measurable analytic category, offense and defense. He was last year too. The only thing that has stopped him from being a 80-90 point center the last two years has been injuries. I could understand if the argument was "Larkin needs to be injured less", to which the answer might be to get another center to lighten his load. But I don't understand the "we're never going to win with Larkin" crowd. This guy is really really good. He has never played with a legit top line winger in his career and last year our 2C was Pius Suter. Pretty easy for defenses to key on the guy.

Its not ego its being a smart gm. SY knows Larkin wants to be a Red Wing. Hes not going to another team leaving his home state family where hes played his whole career giving up captaincy being 1c etc. SYs smart to be playing hardball. Larkins the teams best player but hes not worth 9,5m imo get closer to 8 and its fair for both sides.

you're making @F.Michael cream in his shorts. This is word porn for him. https://artflow.ai/gallery/6507f0cba0fc45c8a83602b4c153477f
