Man I remembered Larkin having a way better Olympics than he did apparently, 3 points in 6 games tied for 56th in the tournament (same as our old friend Tomas Tatar!). Also didn't remember Raymond having 9 points in 5 games.

I'd be very disappointed if the Wings accepted what the Wild have to offer in a trade for Larkin

I'm sure it didn't help, Larkin doesn't seem like someone who handles adversity or being challenged well. But with what has leaked out so far it seems like it really is the front office relationship.

I'm probably taking second overall if it is offered honestly.

Hopefully other GM's don't bring up that Larkin only had one 5 on 5 goal this calendar year 😬

Wings should definitely ask for comparable packages to the Robert Thomas ask. Larkin is a little older and hasn't put up 80 points in his career before, and Rob Tom did it twice. But I'd like to think that other GM's would be enticed by how he plays in the Olympics and think they can unlock something more with a better roster. Yzerman should just read out all the puff piece quotes from the Olympics and sell them on what can be!

I'd be fine if this meant Kane doesn't re-sign too honestly. Might as well trade DBC unless he indicates he wants to stay to help the rebuild. There is a chance he would, he at least plays like he gives a **** about dragging the team to wins when he can.

Fine with me at this point. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Seider 5th in Norris voting

It would be really nice if MBN could carry this momentum into training camp, hopefully he stays healthy and trains hard this offseason.

An entire substack dedicated to complaining about the Wings, people are hilarious.

Man that came out of nowhere, he was just at the Habs game. Crazy.

It is really crazy how Montreal's offense can just disappear for huge stretches of games. Still can't believe they beat Tampa in game seven only putting 9 shots on goal the whole night lol.

Not interested in Shane Wright at all, Beniers is intriguing. Wright had a crazy high shooting percentage the one season he almost put up 50 points. His percentage regressed and he put up 27 points last season. His faceoff percentage sucks, he doesn't average more than 14 minutes a night on a bad roster, and he's insanely sheltered with his zone starts. He has decent underlying possession numbers relative to his teammates, but a 71% offensive zone start is going to help that immensely. Beniers is largely the same overall, but a better version of Wright in my opinion. Lots of offensive zone starts but less so than Wright, better underlying possession numbers, and Beniers has put up points more consistently than Wright. He also plays over 21 minutes a night for Seattle. I forget who it was on here that was touting Wright as someone the Wings should have tanked for, and I think he's more of a cautionary tale. I imagine prospect wingers are higher valued than prospect goalies too. You need more wingers on your roster and they're usually much safer/project-able than goalies. Just my guess though, I figure a top 1-3 winger prospect is worth more on the market than a top 1-3 goalie prospect coming from similar prospect pools. But I'm also just talking out of my ass.

Injuries really boned the Avs it seems like. I hate to see Carter Hart succeed.
