Quoting: digitalbath
Its just not something to ask fans, its a loaded question. All the answers you are going to get are going to make you think "HA GET REAL" but as wings fans, we dont really want to move Larkin what so ever, so unless its a blatant overpay its not really a discussion to be had. Hes our captain, and as an original 6 team with only heart and soul guys to put that C on, its a big deal, and hes a home town kid, Michigan wolverine.. Just really want him to be the only were worried about being here when we get another cup.
A loaded question would have a presumption of guilt or shame built into it.
All I'm asking is what would you want from the Rangers in a trade involving Larkin.
I have no intention of making any judgements on whatever your answer is to the question.
Larkin has regressed somewhat and he has a NTC that kicks in next year.
He's only 25.
But Detroit's rebuild might be taking longer than expected and Larkin might not fit in with Detroit's long-term plans to compete.
Much like Anthony Mantha.
Whether Larkin is from Michigan or that Detroit was an Original 6 team over half a century ago should have nothing to do with it.
Also, by the time Detroit gets another cup, Larkin will be just as old as I am
