Red Wings' New Front Office to Confront Dylan Larkin Reality

It's surprising this is being framed as an "adjustment period" for the new front office, considering how little emphasis they've placed on underlying metrics when making roster decisions in the past. You'd think acknowledging the trade dynamics involving Larkin would be a relatively straightforward process given his clear value to the team - 3.43 HV% this past season wasn't an anomaly by any means, and Detroit's 12th-ranked OCF should be a more pressing concern than clogging up cap space with him.
