Oh no Larkin is “hurt”

JERTS suspended Hellebuyck for not reporting to camp

I listened to The Athletic's podcast run through a list of possible destinations today and I still think he ends up in Buffalo. Jack Quinn, a goaltender, a 1st.

I wanna see one of these team USA fun boys sit out a whole season. Helley was good for 2 weeks last year when he wasn't playing for the Jets

I'm genuinely torn on how to root for the Wings this year.

On the wildly optimistic side, it would be fun if the team minus Larkin goes on a fuck-you run, making the playoffs to spite their former captain, and guys like Kasper and Danielson pop off.

On the far more realistic side, they really need a top-five pick to get a real difference-maker. Ideally that's a center but Landon Dupont, sure, come on down.

What'll probably happen is that even with dogshit center depth and the Larkin / GM things dragging for way too long, they'll just be Regular Bad again, because Seider's a beast and Gibson can win games. They'll draft 9th or 10th and get another guy who'll probably top out as a second-liner.
