WOW! Was not expecting this.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

f*** man. It's kinda expected, but hard to watch this reality. Hopefully we get a good haul and hopefully he goes somewhere that wins. He's put up with this shit way too long

I do welcome the new era... But at what cost...

Thanks for everything 71. All the best to you and your family, wherever that make take you

Super glad we traded our 1st for a 34 year old

Hopefully this means we can lean into rebuild 2.0. Because that is the best path to real contention.

 

[Larkin2AA]

Larkin for Thomas 1 for 1 lol

 

[chances14]

Buckle up ladies and gents. This gonna be a hell of a summer

 

[Realgud]

Impossible to blame him, he's getting older and probably wants to go to a contender

 

[SirloinUB]

With his NTC we are going to get caved on this trade. f***

 

[RedHawkDown]

Thank GOD. f***ign hate this loser. Huge blessing

 

[lidstromiscool]

Can't say I blame him, its been a disaster of a rebuild

 

[SirloinUB]

Kane won't be back now either.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

YESSSSS

 

[ThankGord]

the Atlantic is so stacked right now, as much as it sucks we could get a haul for Larkin and Cat and kick the can down the road a little bit

 

[Claypool]

Time to rebuild the rebuild. Get rid of Gibson, Faulk, and Debrincat, too.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Maybe long term it's for the best for the organization. But a bit sad too.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

For all of the folks I’ve accused of Suecophilia over the years, I’m genuinely sorry.

f*** it, only draft Europeans from now until the end of time lol.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Holy shit man. I can’t believe it’s happening. This entire franchise is now officially in complete disarray. What a horrible look

 

[91Retired]

thank goodness, hope this is true because the obstacle was his NTC, if he is waiving it let's all move on.

I just want to reflect on what a dick move this is. Yzerman trades a first to get Larkin the help he says he needs to make the playoffs, then Larkin totally bails on the team. They're going to get very little in return from this trade, so they really could have used that first rounder to get a center to replace him.

Larkin is a traitor to me now. He f***ed this team over with the way he went about this. He should have let the team know sooner.

Kane won't be back now either.

Guessing?

 

[Albatros]

With his NTC we are going to get caved on this trade. f***

Nah. He's not entitled to a trade.

Haul with bus NTC? Where does he want to go? Maybe the Wings can get a early first rounder for him or another number 1 center or one who could turn into one?

What. He's asking for a trade. Larkin's NTC isn't going to be an issue. He wants out so bad, he can f***in waive it.

He's a very good player and if they do find a trade partner, it's going to be a good return.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

What incentive does Debrincat have to sign long term now?

 

[Gabrielor]

You guys likely don't want to hear from outside fans, but I've been there with Eichel, and it f***ing sucks.

Good luck.

A gutless end to a gutless captaincy.
