Sounds like he had a very good game at center, even if it was the preseason. So does this kid have a nickname yet?
What's Larkin's nickname???

NICKNAME: “Larks.”
Agreed.Lame.
Edit: Side Note - I've already started calling Vili Saarijarvi, Milli Vanilli. Has some great photoshop potentiall too IMO, lol.
Why would Sheahan move to wing?
He looked very good in there at last season in few games. Skated more and was more aggressive for offence, at center he plays maybe too defensively. Funny how Filppula was kind of same.
Hopefully Sheahan will find better balance no matter what the positions is. Especially more offence at center.
I would prefer Sheahan as a top end third line center than as a par middle six winger. The same is true about Svechnikov at this point too, I would prefer him as a 2nd line center over a first line winger.
Any update on Svech? How's he looking these days?
Last 10 games :
7 goals, 7 assists. 19 PIM, 31 shots.
Last 10 games, he's been moved to wing or he hasn't been taking a lot of faceoffs (between 2 and 6 a game).
Looks like a bull in a china shop.
Sounds like guy definitely plays with a mean steak... Nhl comparable? I've read he's 6'2-6'3 200+ and just over powers people on the I've.

I just hope that 2016 draft becoming ~TOP5 pick Pierre-Luc Dubois isn't carrying him. Guy is almost 2 years younger than Svech.

That guy looks phenomenal. 6'4 skill guy.
Dubois is really good. Whenever I watch Cape Breton he honestly impresses me more than Svechnikov, which is kind of disappointing. Svechnikov should be dominant in the Q as an individual but he rarely looks that way... I'm kind of worried but lets see how he does in GR next year.I just hope that 2016 draft becoming TOP5 pick Pierre-Luc Dubois isn't carrying him. Guy is almost 2 years younger than Svech.

Dubois was there last year and Chevy still flourished. I think it's a mutual thing.

C'mon, Dubois was 17 and Svechnikov 19-year-old at last season. Now Dubois has overtaken him at development.
Now Dubois has overtaken him at development.
They don't play on the same line anymore, they have great chemistry together however.
Some players are just.. well better than others, there's a reason Svech was 20 and Dubois will be closer to 5.
You've watched him more than most I imagine, what's your player comparison for Svech?
Best comparison I can come up with is Thomas Vanek type player. Personally haven't been too impressed with the kid.
Would have preferred Konecny, I guess Wings brass wanted size.
