GDT: Game 69: nice Red Wings at knights 8:00 pm et 3/22/25

Brother they are both gonna over 30 by the time this team is competing, it’s a valid discussion.

What kind of return are you looking for Larkin?

 

[saska sault]

Got home just in time to watch the 3rd period! and the Cat scores. The come back begins.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

What kind of return are you looking for Larkin?

I’d only trade Larkin if we were getting a center of some sort back, or a guaranteed top pair defenseman. But our adequate C depth outside of him is so bad that I don’t think any trade with him would get back what he’s truly worth. Debrincat is a guy who I think could actually be traded for quite a bit this off season.

What specifically are you hoping to get in return for Larkin? This is why it is easier said than done.

 

[minimal]

Yeah Debrincat is not getting traded

 

[RedHawkDown]

Yeah Debrincat is not getting traded

He's better than Larkin IMO and a year younger. If the guy was 6'1" people would consider him a key core player. He backchecks, is solid defensively, competes every game, and is our best scorer by far.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Why is Kane playing on this team again ?

Just had his 3rd point of the night and a 5 point game a few ago? We can't score and he scores seems like a solid reason.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Let’s say you get a guy like nikishin and maybe stankoven for Larkin, big hypothetical, but a trade like that makes us better for 10 years, but hurts us in the short term. I’d honestly be okay with it, it would suck, but assets like that is what I’d be looking for. If you’re not getting assets like that back then there’s no point in trading him.

 

[RedHawkDown]

What kind of return are you looking for Larkin?

I would consider moving him to a team like LA who might move Byfield for a shot at the cup before Doughty/Kopitar are done.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Which is exactly why he’s our best bet to trade for significant pieces long term. Obviously the trade has to be right and for actual good players but you could really shore up your top 4d for a decade with one trade.

 

[Redwing66]

Some of you consistently expect a move to be made at the deadline or offseason - Yzerman has a track record of doing absolutely nothing - why would you expect anything else. It’s like the speculation on the future considerations for Walman - not happening, nothing there - is what it is.

 

[dalem177]

Man, this ESPN+ feed tonight is being served via a potato.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Imagine if we hired Jim Nill instead of Yzerman. Damn.

 

[RedWingzz]

They scored an "even strength goal"

What does that mean?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I would consider moving him to a team like LA who might move Byfield for a shot at the cup before Doughty/Kopitar are done.

Blake has made some dumb moves but I dunno if he is dumb enough for that.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Compher and tarasenko both make 10 million combined, they together have 16 goals this season. If that doesn’t sum up our pro scouting…

 

[MabusIncarnate]

I'll watch til the end of the season, but tonight is the definite dagger. Best of luck next season.

 

[datsyukfan]

Tarasenko can’t do anything right, get this guy off this team

 

[saska sault]

I am starting to think they wont make the playoffs guys.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I dunno why you even put Tarasenko out there, he takes a bad shot then three get beat by Eichel.

 

[dalem177]

 

[datsyukfan]

Compher and tarasenko both make 10 million combined, they together have less than 15 goals this season. If that doesn’t sum up our pro scouting…

Yep complete joke. Falls on yzerman, he has not been a good GM here, maybe good drafting but everything else he’s awful. You can’t only be good at 1 phase of roster building it has to be all 3 and right now he sucks at 2/3

 

[RedHawkDown]

Blake has made some dumb moves but I dunno if he is dumb enough for that.

They moved Brock Faber for Kevin Fiala. They've done similar before.

Larkin for Byfield + 4th or something would be a deal they might consider if they want to make a last push at it.

 

[aar000n]

1 on 3 and he gets a shot off and scored.
