Bill Berzeench 310 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Was having a convo with my dad and asked him if he'd trade Larkin for Crosby. He said "hell no, Crosby's old." I cant say I disagree with him at this point. Who would you trade Larkin for straight up right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 If I'm trading away a franchise forward I think I'm looking to get a franchise defenseman in return, as that's an area of need for this team. Parayko might be worth looking into. He's had an amazing season so far (5 goals, 7 assists, +10 in 21 games), is absolutely huge (6'5" 226lbs) and shoots right.

Bill Berzeench 310 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Toews is pretty good. I'd probably do that too. 2 Wingnut1989 and Aethernum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Doughty, Hedman, Subban, Mcdavid, seguin, benn, Ekblad, Oliver-ekman Larsson, Tavares. Those are the guys I can come up with off the top of my head that I'd trade him straight up for, I'm sure there's more than a few I'm forgetting, but the list is a lot shorter than I was expecting it to be. I don't know if I'd trade him for Crosby, honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amato 3,210 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Tyler Seguin or OEL probably But honestly, I'd rather not trade him. Having to pick someone though, probably one of them two Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Wow that's a new galaxy of overhyping a prospect. I'm a huge huge Larkin fan and I think him or Danny D are going to be the next captain of this team. That being said the guy is playing his first season in the NHL and no sane GM would ever trade one of - not even talking about the best player in the world - for him. Just for fun: Toews, Kane, Seabrook, Keith, Weber, Suter, Hedman, Pietrangelo, Crosby, Letang, Stamkos, Benn, Seguin, OEL, McDavid, Eichel, Backes, Ekblad, Price, Doughty, Quick, Tavares, Getzlaf, Perry, Giroux...

jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Dion phaneuf. That way Babcock can see that Larkin is a future #1 center, that would have eventually been able to replace datsyuk. That'll show him. 1 FireCaptain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themcityblues 249 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 Larkin is way better than the market will value him, so he's just not the type of player that'll go. I can only see him getting traded for somebody very similar to him in ability, age and experience. Not sure who that'd be, and the Wings would have no reason to trade him for a guy in the same role.

LeftWinger 4,964 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) While were trading young stars for vets like Larkin for Crosby, we may as well trade Adam Oates and Paul Maclean for Bernie Federko and Tony McKegney that'll work out great and bring us tons of Cups!

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 I wouldn't trade Larkin for anyone in the league without some incentive (like a pick or another player). Why do it? It's his first time playing in the NHL and he's leading our team in goals. He's 19. 1 NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
