I tend to agree. I don’t think Larkin being 32 is a problem at all, but we will already have Fox, Zib, Gavrikov and maybe Miller as the senior members, so if we are dealing vets I’d just as soon target guys who are 18-25 right now.

Still, if we got Larkin for Trocheck plus like… Morrow, you wouldn’t see me complaining.

Even if they got Larkin for Troch + Morrow or a pick, and signed someone like Tuch; that's approximately the same as Panarin and Trochek in terms of output. Maybe slightly better given age considerations and potential drop off in production for the latter. That's also assuming Larkin and Tuch actually play well in NY which I would not be convinced of at all. Either way I don't think it makes this team better, just different, and then also delays the inevitable... again.
 
I'm intrigued about the price on Larkin. 3 years younger than Tro, but $3.1m per season more expensive, plus an extra 2 years on the contract.
He's a 'bigger name' than Trocheck, but has only outscored Tro by 50 pts total in the past 5 seasons, and Tro actually has more 5v5 points (172 v 168). That 5v5 scoring gap is wider in the past 3 seasons (101 v 89).
Different usage, different linemates etc etc, but if I'm a GM i'm not sure i'm paying a premium for Larkin

Trocheck has a far better reputation as well. Larkin is seen as a guy who can’t get it done and Trocheck is one of the top glue guys in the league and can produce comparable offense

Both Vince and Staple saying the Rangers are interested in Larkin but it feels like the stars really need to align for it to come to fruition
 
If you put Larkin on the Rangers he’s got a much better supporting cast that he does on Detroit. His 2C is Andrew Copp.
