Man, this is news related to a hockey player and all but I hate seeing stuff like this posted.
I come here to escape from the real world.
This is not a knock on you by any means.
F*^K Cancer.

Sad.
In the context of the Red Wings and recent Red Wings history and fan debates, I freaking hated KFQ.
But all that is totally pointless next to news like this.
It may sound meaningless to say over the intertubes, but my thoughts go out to Kyle Quincey and his family.

Man, that's a raw deal. Cancer is a terrible thing and few people don't have a loved one that's gotten the unfortunate diagnosis... but it's different for a kid like that; that's just too cruel. I can imagine myself doing a lot of jobs, pediatric oncology would rip me to shreds every time I stepped into the hospital.

I am really curious to see where Larkin slots in on a serious contender. If he is a 2C behind a superstar he could be a monster at puck possession and reducing scoring chances the other way.
Larkin would be such an ideal #2 center in the playoffs it's not even funny. There's few younger guys around the league I'd trust more in defensive situations that can also counterpunch and generate a clutch goal for you.
I really, really hope we get to see that in the next 5 years.

Sabres fan here. I'm seeing Larkin's name thrown around by some Sabres fans as a trade target. I'm calling BS on it because there's no way Yzerman ever trades him. Please let me know if I'm missing something. Thanks in advance!

He's nowhere near untouchable in my view. But he is their best overall player AND in all likelihood the next captain. I imagine Buffalo can offer a decent range of deals that Yzerman will seriously consider.

I mean, some of those deals would have to include perhaps "untouchables" on Buffalo's end but you get the point. Like if Buffalo was offering something insane like Eichel/Dahlin and wanted Larkin and a 1st/2nd plus a future 3rd, I think at least a discussion happens. Probably not gonna happen but the overall idea is that Larkin is not that safe from any trade ideas. Plus his contract is fairly cap friendly.

I think the best the Sabres offer is 8th overall, Mittelstadt, and Montour/Ristolainen. Which isn't getting Larkin. Eichel, Dahlin, and Cozens are untouchable.

Which is why Larkin wouldn't be going. By the way I doubt they trade him with Cozens as the key make weight. Larkin will be the captain come fall. You offer 8th and Cozens and my guess is Chris Ilitch tells Stevie no even if he wanted to.
The big gun to shake out in Detroit will be Mantha if it happens. I doubt either guy is moved though at least not yet.
Local born and raised face of the franchise is going to be a tough get honestly you don't have the pieces without the two Buffalo won't want to trade.
It being talked about on your board as realistic doesn't make it so. There are 30 teams trying to rip you off and take Jack Eichel on here everyday, it doesn't mean Buffalo will do it at all.
