How about we fire Yzerman and keep him and stop rebuilding? How about that?

I think Yzerman wanted out as player too. Then won back to back championship.

Team shouldn’t honor his trade request. Don’t sign an 8 year deal if you don’t want to be here for 8 years.

Larkin for Matthew’s. Wings get a legit number one center. Yes down year last year but maybe getting out of Toronto might help him. Larkin is the worse captain ever. Got it handed to him because hes a Michigan boy and went to uofm for 7 months

Like they’d ever trade Mathews.

Who knows. Their a shit franchise . So just maybe. This will be Yzerman last year, maybe larkin is telling something to Yzerman

Steve Yzerman got lucky in Tampa.

Well, that sucks. I’m not nearly as down on Larkin as others here. You don’t end up on gold winning team USA by accident.

We haven’t done a good job putting him in correct role or talent around him.

I don’t see how this makes us better lol

No - Larkin is a terrible leader. And an overpaid 2C. Thank God he wants out so we don’t have to listen to this piece of shit cry and make every excuse in the book anymore all while withering away when the games actually matter.

He was never part of the timeline anyways. The real roster will be built around Raymond and Mo.

Hopefully we can move him for a capable C. Package him and some first for McDavid? :rofl:

But in reality, it’s good to have an actual NHL trade piece. He should fetch something good in return. Being able to package Larkin with other assets to get a really good player would be amazing.

I think he is going any where.

I do. I don’t think Steve or Todd think he is worthy of the “C”. Regardless, I’d strip him of it. Embarrassing.

Fridge with the break and now Bultman with the confirmation - It’s real. Make it happen.

I know a lot of people are going to think this is bad for the Wings. But I think this is a good thing. I don’t think Larkin is capable of being the leader of a playoff run team. He’s mentally soft and it shows in how the teams perform under his captaincy every single year when the games matter. Give the “C” to Seider and trade Larkin for Robert Thomas or something.

Wonder what step of the Yzerplan trading the hometown hero was?

Put the C on Seider where it belongs.
