Can't say that I blame Larkin...He's had the most challenging captaincy in decades...Yzerman, Lidstrom, and Zetterberg never had the $hit teams Larkin's been on.

Im not even joking that Finnie is making Kasper look like an after thought... this kid is a ******* DAWG. He has the natural instincts and brain that you cant develop or buy. Between him and Kasper... our future looks bright with or without Larkin. Dylan better stop whining publicly or SY may actually ship his azz out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtlantaHotWings 1,142 Report post Posted October 3 I am super impressed with MBN as he seems to be in the right place at the right time. I am hoping Steve is working the phones to allow some of these young DAWGs get on the roster. I would even be okay missing the playoffs to give them a year of "seasoning" in the big league. 2 Jimmybigrigs69 and mackel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furreal dawg. Now that Kasper is a regular Finnie and MBN are EASILY the top forward prospects... Mazur, Lombardi, and Danielson are good... but the former 2 look to be on another level entirely.
