Seperate discussion on Marchenko but I question his ability when he's "the guy".
Exactly how I feel. I think he’s a nice complement piece alongside a star player but not the star.
But the issue is will guys waive for a trade here without even some sort of commitment from Z?Just hoping Z is going to repeat himself and say he'll only commit to Columbus only if they get better. Teams who missed the playoffs already getting better(Tkachuk and Kyrou trades). Werenski might think the news of Jenner and Marchment hitting the market as a step back for the organization and wants to know exactly what Waddell is trying to do to improve the team.
Also if he wanted out, wouldn't it be better to have a quick meeting before the draft and not after?
Or maybe he's going to ask if they would have interest in Larkin and should he nag Larkin to put Columbus on his list of approved teams
How hard it is he lobbying for people to come here to play with him? If he does commit to Columbus, is he going to convince others to come play with him?
True.. Z might have 2 more years but if they don't improve he could either leave as a UFA after those 2 years or ask for a trade. But with how things are, those players might ask for a trade soon after lol. You can't promise every player but maybe they tell Larkin, try winning with Columbus with one of your best friends. If it doesn't work out and Z won't extend, we'll trade you if you want out. Maybe a contender will over pay for Larkin in hopes of recruiting Z when he hits the market.
Why would he come back when he has already asked out once? Just so he can ask out again?
