Speculation: Larkin trade return

[GoBoltz56]

If Larkin turns into Robinson I'll put away my pitchfork for a couple months.

Larry? He retired long ago, otherwise I'd agree

I'd settle for David,at least he was a center.

Max Bultman said on a podcast today that if Yzerman finds a way to land ROBO, then quality centers will open up their NTC to us so to come play top line minutes with ROBO and Raymond on the wing. That would be very tempting for centers who think they aren't getting enough minutes with their current club.

Why not half of each and get Larry David?

Pretty.... pretty.... pretty... pretty good.

Building up assets and incremental improvement is so important to building a team. If we managed to pull off Larkin for Robertson, we’d get younger and get a better winger in Robertson than we had center in Larkin at the cost of cap space that we have in abundance. Then you keep looking to build from there

the more i think about it the more i think a deal centered around larkin for robertson just makes too much sense for both teams here (as long as dylan is willing to waive for dallas) i have no idea what else would need to be added to either side, but its a jumping off point.

IF and thats is a monumental IF the "report" of larkin being lukewarm on ana its possible it could be for tax reasons. if that is the case, texas is a no tax state.

dallas ownership made it pretty clear they dont want to pay robertson when he negotiated his last contract.

for dallas, they lose a bit of offence but for that they gain amazing center depth and a yearly 30 goal scorer who is cost controlled for the next 5 years

for larkin, dallas is ready to win now, no state tax, he can be A guy instead of THE guy

for detroit, convince robertson that this next season is a write off but that you will be extremely aggressive (and actually do it) to fix the roster and maybe be a wild card team in 2 years. if he wont bite, flip him for futures and commit to a fullish rebuild or for a center for a quicker retool.

for robertson, detroit will give him a blank check

my post from last friday, got some pushback then but now everyones on the robertson train. ive called this for a week now broskies

the only question is does he want to be in detroit or is the money enough to get him to sign or is he not interested at all? but if hes not then we could flip him for assets.

I don't fault that as much. No one knew Hughes would be as good as he turned out. I'll never fault management for not having a crystal ball. All teams make regrettable draft choices and it's easy to say in hindsight.

But what you can fault them on his not trading for him when he's a known superstar in his prime.

hughes was HIGHLY touted in his draft year, and he was right in our own backyard. not to mention the fact that this team trotted out the following defence in 18-19:

38yo kronwall for 79 games
broken 33yo green for 43 games
21yo hronek for 46 games
28yo dekeyser for 52 games
20yo cholowski for 52 games
35yo daley for 44 games
34yo ericsson for 52 games
jensen for 60 games
bowey for 17 games
witkowski for 34 games
lashoff for 4 games
mcilrath for 7 games
hicketts for 11 games
sulak for 6 games
jake chelios for 5 games

I think the underlying point is that players with NTCs or M-NTCs wouldn’t include Detroit on their firm “Do Not Trade” list.
