marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 Larkin will have 2 or 3 very damn good seasons in his prime years. The apologists will be like "See?!" Then he will have his decline in his 30s. The hope is that Stevie doesn't give him a huge payday when this happens. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bertuzzi and Mantha, and now plus Fabbri who is a good player. And Bertuzzi and Mantha and Fabbri are all having better years than last year. If anything his linemates have improved. Way to cherry pick the one part of my post we've argued for pages in another thread... It's not just about who Larkin has played with, it's about how bad the team is as a whole. Team's are zoning in on Larkin (for good reason). You completely avoided the part of my last post about how his percentage of team scoring has gone up this season (for good reason)...

LeftWinger 5,129 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 I do agree, when Blashill implemented "his" system, that is when we saw Larkin's production change. I seem to remember his rookie season he was in the same sentence as Eichel up until Blashill got everyone playing the "trust the process" system. Blashill IS the problem. He was the problem with AA as well. But never do you trade Larkin. This guy bleeds Red and White, he gave you a discounted contract to stay here. You do not turn around and dump him, unless, of course, one day he asks to be traded. I hope and pray that Blashill is NOT our coach after the season, Byslma either. We need an entire new philosophy in the room. Give me one of Larionov, Gallant or Lambert. Shoot, lets hire all of them in place of our entire coaching staff!

These players are having great years, and they play with Larkin. True or false? You're full of excuses? Dude, Bertuzzi was a bottom tier player to start the season last year. As he got more opportunities, he got better. This year, he was on the top line to start the season. So of course he's outperforming last year's numbers. Mantha has a higher offensive ceiling than Larkin. However, Mantha is lazy and has hands made of porcelain. Didn't I already school you on this topic last week?

F.Michael 4,590 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 8 hours ago, Hairy Lime said: Wasn't liked by his teammates? Tell that to Larkin, then, because he seemed genuinely pissed about the trade and even said that AA WAS liked and wanted to stay in Detroit. As for AA's defense, it was no worse than a young Yzerman's, before a certain coach was brought in. This team's biggest problem is Blashill. Difference was Grand Master Y was a legit 90 to 100 pts player who could dominate in the offensive end of the ice...I would tend to look the other way on defensive duties if there was a guy of this calibre on the Wings.
