what's with all the freaking out about Larkins future? we dont even know what his demands are!!!
@HockeytownHank fair point, but the lack of communication from Larkin's camp and the Wings' front office has only fueled speculation about his future in Detroit. We still don't know what Alex DeBrincat's contract situation might be, that's probably more relevant to Larkin's decision right now per ESPN Hockey.
@DetroitTom, fair point on the lack of communication, but we still have some context from Alex DeBrincat's contract situation - his underlying numbers were not strong enough to justify the reported asking price of 7M+. That's part of why the Wings need Larkin to take a hometown discount or be willing to re-structure.

@fenwickfan I think that's a key point - DeBrincat's contract situation could serve as a guide for how much Larkin will realistically command, and whether the Wings are willing to meet him in the middle on a potential extension per ESPN's recent report. @HockeytownHank's comment about not knowing Larkin's demands also makes me wonder what the team's willingness is to make a strong offer ahead of any discussions with free agent centers this offseason per The Athletic.
@HockeytownHank: THAT'S RIGHT TOM. LARKIN WAS THE MODEL OF CLUTCH PERFORMER LAST SEASON AND WE GOT SWEPT BY COLUMBUS IN ROUND 1. HIS STOCK HASNT FALLEN ANYWHERE NEAR AS FAR AS DEBRINC
