Larkin Calling out Steve Y

[DBend144]

Offense is decent. But the defense is what im worried about. Wings were among worst in the league in time in own zone 5:5

Make a trade. Not all these prospects will be able to play

I like Larkin. I wish he wouldn’t have waded into waters that he did because even shallow water can drown your ass.

I think he’ll get his wish that the Wings make a trade to bring in more talent……well before the deadline.

Ironically he’ll be a part of the package going the other way

Also, I’ve been a Steve Yzerman fan since I was a teenager back in the 80’s.

But the Red Wings are not a fun watch and I’m just as disinterested now as I was the last several years of Ken Hollands tenure.

I like Larkin too. Hell, I have a Larkin jersey. But he’s really a 2C. And for a captain, he has to know he can’t make public comments about what the GM did or didn’t do. I’d be more fine if he stepped up in big moments, but the guy was nearly invisible after the all-star break. He needs to be the example.

I would love to get a 100 point guy. But idk if thats Yzerman plan. Maybe get a better 2nd C drop copp to 3rd. And then get a top def line player

[Wolfhound32]

I agree that he isn’t a #1 center, this sentiment has been with me for awhile. Yzerman has struggled with getting a #1

One of the things I liked about the Wings of the 90s and 2000s was the really good natural centers those teams had.

Yzerman Federov Larionov Draper

Datsyuk Zetterberg Draper Filpula even Danger

It just seems to be a struggle to get good centers

Maybe get a better 2nd C

Already think that’s Kasper. He was really good with Cat and Kane after the break

God I miss the pre-cap wings. Every summer was “which hall of famer we signing now?”

Great thought on pre salary cap Wings. It was an amazing time to be a fan.

Do you see a split as well between Larkin and the Wings? I just think it’s best for both parties. Leadership is an issue IMHO

I’m not sure the Wings would get great compensation with his salary…. unless the Wings agree to eat some of it.

It wasn’t really that though. I mean it was part of it but the Wings had a superior scout team led by Jim Nil. That’s how they found guys like Datsyuk and Zetterberg, Kronwall and Franzen.
