Vatican Roulette
Baile de Los Locos
Shaman, I get where you're coming from regarding the hype around AA, but to say he's another plug is ignoring his high level talent he flashed routinely in limited ice. Yes, limited ice, but so many flashes so quickly is usually a great sign. We never saw plays like that from the other middle line guys through the system like Abby or Helm. That's what is exciting about his ceiling. He shows great offensive instincts at high speed, which usually translates into sustainable offense in the modern NHL.
My big hope is that AA and Larkin turn into a sort of Bergeron and Krejci tandem. Neither of those guys are elite scorers like McDavid or Eichel will be, but they make life hell for the opposing team and generate a lot of pressure every damn shift.
Sprinkle in some goal scorer's, and Detroit's good.
Can't wait to see AA with more confidence/ice time.
