    Dylan Larkin on opening night roster

    The Mantha comparison isn't valid. He never had a chance to capitalize on his hype because he broke his leg. Larkin stayed healthy, and impressed so much that he made the roster. He'll probably go back to GR at some point this year, but only because of the numbers game. He's NHL ready.

    Dylan Larkin on opening night roster

    He earned this. It's great to see the best players playing (except Andersson might be in the starting line-up which is insane) but it's a welcome change. Will he stay all year? Probably not. But the situation we're in with no Pav and Helm, it's the right decision.

    10/3 Exhibition GDT : Red Wings at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7:00 EST

    Used to like Holland, that BS at the end might change that. Good on Mantha for chucking bombs at his head right away. Every pre-season game gets me more hyped for the kids in a couple years.

    10/2 Exhibition GDT : Toronto Maple Leafs 2 at Red Wings 4

    Gonna happen a lot this year. Green might have a better first pass than Rafalski did. So creative.

    Franzen looks real good (not real gud), if he can stay healthy, man. Forward depth is already ridiculous.

    Hope to see a score similar to this in a week when it counts!!

    Great point. Once he fills in, look the f*** out NHL. (Have fun in TO Babs)

    Every game I've been able to watch, so impressed by Richards. Such a smart hockey player.

    I get the numbers game, I get we're over the cap, I get we overripe our prospects. Larkin is ready man, the kid just brings it. I really won't care if he starts in the minors because if GR's top 6 has Larkin, Mantha, AA and Bert in it, I'm pysched. I think he has to get a look with Pav out is all.

    DeKeyser Injured

    Hopefully it's not serious. I'm expecting DD-Green to log some serious minutes this year (and tear s*** up)

    9/30 Exhibition GDT : Red Wings 7 at Penguins 2

    This team is gonna be so goddamn exciting in a couple years. We'll be the fastest team in the league by a mile.

    9/28 Exhibition GDT : Red Wings at Boston Bruins, 7:00 EST

    Sounds like Ouellet had himself quite the night. A good thing to have too many good young defenceman.

    Chicago re-signs Seabrook; 8 years, $6.875 AAV

    8 years for a guy who'll be 32 by the first year of this extension... sure. If it was any other team, the media would be saying how ridiculous this move is, because it's Chicago it's brilliant. Have fun with AHLers in your bottom 6 and on your 3rd pair every year boys.

    9/24 Exhibition GDT : at Red Wings 6, Pittsburgh Penguins 1

    No way is Larkin in GR to start the year, with Pav on the shelf and Helm iffy, he's definitely on the opening night roster. Kid has the goods. Bertuzzi had a great game after a quiet one the other night. Loving the kids, will take a few season to see most of em on the big club.... that's what NHL16 is for I guess

    Pre-season hat trick for Tatar, not bad at all.

    I've always liked Brad Richards (except for last year), man is he ever a smart hockey player. He's gonna be such a good fit this year.

    It's exciting times to be sure. This isn't even mentioning all the kids knocking on the door for spots.

    When Pav comes back, we're ridiculously deep up front.
