you do not get Larkin with "4th line stars"

that’s a great oxymoron

Just absolute clownery

You gotta give up better quality than that if you want a good young player like Larkin. A trade for Larkin would likely start with Thomas and could include Dunn. Either way, Larkin should be just about untouchable for the Wings.

What do you guys think the over under is for the wings being in the playoffs once before Larkin's contract is up?

It is a lot easier to win games when you don't allow goals in...

Detroit allowed the most goals against by almost 30 goals.

It takes more than one line to win anything

what do you think the over under is that they trade their future captain for ivan ****ing barbashev

Wings pass not even close

Are you actually trying to defend this insane trade?

Did the Blues winning the cup inflate some egos or?

I try to be nice on here but this is absolute malarkey

His contract not fitting their timeline doesn't justify this, naturally they could get at least 3x this return from any team in the league... yes that's 3x

If any future FA is likely to resign with their current team it's Larkin as he's from the Detroit suburbs and they're going to start being really good in 2023

I bet he signs that deal a year earlier when Raymond, Berggren etc start to blossom into good NHLers and they're where Ottawa is now or likely a bit ahead

Your profile flair is so very appropriate for OP

A bunch of 3rd and 4th line scrubs doesn't get you Dylan Larkin, It's painfully obvious you know very little about players values here. it's laughingly bad.

Who freaking cares, Larkin has 3 more years Detroit will be competing for the playoff by his last year. They've tons of talent coming up Seider, Veleno, Raymond Rasmussen they will be competitive within 4 to 5 years and Larkin is still only in his late 20's still by then.

Yeah well come back when you make us a serious offer for our future Captain not a bunch of worthless scrubs, Yzerman is our GM now not Ken Holland. Yzerman wont accept trash for his star player.

Go back to NHL21

I'll counter your Larkin Trade with this.

Detroit trades their 4th line stars Luke Glendening, Adam Erne, and Sam Gagne, Alex Beiga for Brayden Schenn and Robert Thomas

I dunno that's a helluvan offer from Detroit you'll probably have to add Vince Dunn + retain some $ 😉
