NHL 2026: The Olympics Will Be Mammoth!

I wonder what this means for Larkin. Seems like he’s burned that bridge and the fan base doesn’t want him back, or if they can’t trade him, at least don’t want him with the C.

I'm guessing a new GM will rid himself of the Larkin problem for less than Yzerman wanted.

I’m sure they will get a decent return and I suspect Larkin leaving could be addition by subtraction. He obviously is a good player but I think he has been a huge part of the problem as far as Wings not making the playoffs.

What do you do with Cat, Faulk, and Edvinnson? It will be interesting how things play out with those three.

Maybe it will be like Buffalo when they fired their GM and the team decided they are actually good.

I doubt Larkin wants to wait through another rebuild, or that the new GM wants him around poisoning it. He likely goes for less than Stevie Y was demanding now.

Does he count as a middle six forward? Because that’s what determines whether or not the Kraken will trade for him.

He has 2C talent and AHL-level drive.

Ah fuck. You guys are going to get Shane Wright for him…
