Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Is it just me or does Stevie Y come off as a huge ****** in interviews? Crack a smile for Christ's sake. FYI I'm a huge Stevie fan. Emo Yzerman. I actually wonder how much of it is physical pain. I vaguely remember reading that he's basically in a lot of pain 24/7/365. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermind 363 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Wanted McCann, but Larkin is a good pick. We needed a center. I would have preferred McCann as well. Also good defensively but with higher offensive upside IMO. 1 Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 So we'll see this kid in what, 7 years? Don't be ridiculous. 9 years. Iginla walking from Boston? Bruins select Pastrnak. He's damn good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaZel 19 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Wow, they did pick Larkin. Thats pretty cool, this kid is about as Michigan as any of you guys could want. He's from freaking Waterford, played for the Belle Tire club, then for USNTDP in Ann Arbor, and now he's suiting up for U of M. Surely some of you guys know this kid? I'm a residential advisor in one of the nicer dorms at UofM. I think it would be pretty awesome if Larkin was one of my residents! Haha 1 evilmrt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richdg 267 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 The Larkin pick is a good one. By the time he makes it to the RW's he will be in the 6-2/6-3 range and 200+ pounds. he has speed grit and NEVER quits. Give him 4 years and he will be or 2C for about 12-15 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I right in saying that you're in agreement with something KH has done?? (I'm just pulling your leg) But yes, tremendous pick and the more I read about him, the more it seems that this kid is exactly the kind of character guy with speed and skill we need. Can't wait to follow his development at U of M. 1 frankgrimes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted October 6, 2015 Just a quick bump up for this thread...I thought maybe it'd be cool to see what we were saying before and after Larkin was drafted and compare it to what we are saying today! MODS you can lock this thread if you feel so no one else posts in it, but I just thought bumping it up for this week would strike some nice conversation from what we all initially thought of the pick. 1 joesuffP reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
