You didn't make any points you continued with your incorrect comparison by cherry picking a few stats here and there and presenting them as a complete picture... its nonsense that didn't rise to the level of a reply. Larkin is a 2C, I've gone team by team and made my assessment... he's a 1C on teams as thin as ours at center and on really good teams he slides to 3C. I'll concede a few spelling errors right off the bat to save you from pointing them out and thinking you're making some sort of point. By Team: ANA 1. Getzlaf/Larkin (Leaning Getzlaf for now... age advantage Larkin) ARI Platoon (w/ Schmaltz) BOS 1. Bergeron 2. Krejci 3. Larkin (May move up due to age) BUF 1. Eichel 2. Larkin CAL Platoon (w/ Monahan) CAR 1. Aho 2. Larkin CHI 1. Larkin 2. Towes COL 1. MacKinnon 2. Kadri/Larkin (Coaches Decision) CLB Platoon (w/ PL Dubois) DAL 1. Seguin 2. Hintz/Larkin (Coaches Decision) DET 1. Larkin 2. Warm Body EDM 1. McDavid 2. Nugent-Hopkins 3. Larkin FLA 1. Barkov 2. Trocheck/Larkin (Coaches Decision) LA 1. Kopitar 2. Larkin MIN Platoon (w/ Staal) MON Platoon (w/ Domi) NASH 1. Duchene 2. Johansen/Larkin (Leaning Larkin) NJ 1. Larkin Soon to be replaced by both Hischier & Hughes NYI 1. Barzal 2. Nelson/Larkin (Leaning Larkin) NYR Platoon (w/ Zabanejad) OTT 1. Larkin 2. Warm Body PHI 1. Couturier/Larkin (Leaning Couturier) PIT 1. Crosby 2. Malkin 3. Larkin SJ 1.

Funny that's what you're doing with this Bergeron comparison... but it's easier to throw shade when you're clearly wrong than admit it... Larkin is a very good 2C thrust into a 1C role... end of story. They can't tolerate having their hype train positions challenged... and any conformation of their bias is celebrated. It's a wonder after last night's game some of these goofs aren't expecting Neilson to have a resurgence and be a legit 2C again... he did afterall have 2 goals.

PPG: Staal 0.57 Larkin 0.67 Bergeron 0.79 Closer to Staal than Bergeron. Staal is a responsible 2C, Bergeron is an elite defensive 1C, Larkin is again closer to Staal. So do you want to continue looking like an idiot or are you ready to go sulk in the corner.

Small sample size... any player can have a good run over a short term, and this doesn't even meet that standard. It's a hell of a lot closer than a Bergeron comparison...

I've not been proven wrong... and I stand by that assessment 100% Are you @krsmith17 in disguise or just a psycho sycophant? You surely mean a 2C forced into a 1C role... on a terrible team having a down year.

But why wouldn't Bergeron 2.0 be a lock for the ASG?

Did you know Larkin is the next Bergeron?? I was informed of this last week. Woah blown away!

Once he's well and truly bested he'll criticize your spelling. I've been there it's quite satisfying.

I think McIsaac is a top 4 guy in the right situation. Probably the defensive yin to his partners' offensive yang.

2C

You can't always get what you want But if you try sometime you find You get what you need

Depending on our draft position it may make alot of sense to trade him. Especially if say we have 1st or 2nd overall and another team that barely missed the playoffs lottos up to 2nd or 3rd. Maybe trading Larkin for that pick plus something and rebooting the rebuild would make sense.

...and Stutzel and Raymond rose.

Notice though how it's always a random low odds team(s) that move up into the top 2/3... I wonder if that's a quirk of tankathon or if that's legit statistically? That being said I've long believed the Draft Lotto is rigged... still do... otherwise it would be done live and out in the open. That said the story of the last 6-12 months actually works in our favor... think about it: 1. Once proud franchise. CHECK 2. Long time GM who lost pace with the times fired. CHECK 3. New GM is a highly regarded former player coming back home. CHECK 4. The team is legit aweful. CHECK 5. The franchise is a highly valuable original six team. CHECK 6. The narrative of redemption and renewal is made for TV. CHECK

Maybe he had too much egg nog?

Can we hit double digits in the win column before next year???

You're living proof of that @krsmith17

RESPECT

Are you 12? Stop using my material and get your own. Comrie is back on waivers by the Jets, looks like the ball is in our court.

Blah, blah, blah... just stop embarrassing yourself already.

@ChristopherReevesLegs have @krsmith17 tell you the one about Larkin being the second coming of Bergeron if you want a good laugh.

The moment your adversary resorts to point out spelling errors you know you've won.

Bergeron... GTFO fool

So I'm the one making a ridiculous comparison... and you, you bring up Bergeron! You're out to lunch I feel good for you that you have an ink blot to validate your ludicrous POV.

Layoff the spiked eggnog and bologna... it's making you see things that aren't there b'ye. He has all the tools to be a Jordan Stahl.
