Larkin would pretty much be the ideal center for Gaudreau and Laine. Insanely fast, good a faceoffs, dependable in board battles. But man, that price. KJ would be an absolute no-go for me. I'd do the deal with Sillinger, though. Larkin is what you hope Sillinger becomes in a few years; KJ's potential is another level past that. And if KJ turns out and Larkin ends up your 2C, then that is some spine right there. It's too bad the Jackets don't have a Ceulemans-caliber forward prospect, since the Wings don't really need a defenseman.
Also this is all moot because Larkin isn't going anywhere.
