Only 27 goals? Didn't he have like 12 of those in the first 8 games

I don't follow the Wings, but surprised he only had 27 goals.

Alex Debrincat meets expectations but still manages to be a very controversial topic with many threads made about him

I think he should take one from Walkman's book and hit the griddy

 

[Divine]

At least he finished higher in the standings this season. He’s a team player. His old teams always bottom out when he leaves.

9 goals in 7 games

Actually most of the Red Wings fans are fine with him. Yes, it would be nice for him to score more but he is not Marian Hossa after all. He is a good hockey player though.

Are there any examples of exact the same seasons by one player?

Sam Gagner was the first name I thought of

bunch of super samey years for him at the start of his career

Not NHL but Arber Xhekaj's junior career is the story of 6-11.

I like the Cat, you can see that he cares. Something i cant say about every player that wears the winged wheel.

 

[GreytWun]

With the terrible months by all Wings players in December and the implosion in March I can see how he didn’t get much more.

 

[Pavels Dog]

He was also a +1 this year compared to -31 last year.

Overall he had a good season. A little disappointing after the hot start? Sure. But 67 points is 67 points and most of us would gladly take a few more ~30+~40 seasons from him.

Too bad Gary didn't rig the draft so Detroit won a first overall pick and could have a franchise player like Bedard. I wonder why he and Raymond could do with Bedard or Hughes compared to Larkin .

 

[LemonSauceD]

I mean he’s still PPG guy and likely improves on it nexf season.

He’s been at PPG once in his career and that was in a 52 game season.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Meh he's a top six winger, we needed top six wingers.

Oddly enough I think when we got Kane and stapled him to Kane it hurt his game a little bit.

Dcat-Larkin-Raymond works much better than Dcat-Larkin-Kane, Then they tried to split them up with Compher, also not great.

Dude is also captain post master, a thing I remember Sens fans saying lol.

The Cat's best skill is on the PP, where he's excellent. The Sens missed him there, as PP went from like 6th to 18th (estimation).

However, the Sens couldn't keep him, as they need that $7.5 mil going forward to pay Sanderson (extension begins next season), Pinto, Chychrun (or his FA RHD replacement), and probably a new goalie.

They should have never traded for the Cat to begin with, it was poor planning, and Dorion trying to save his job. The fact that it would have taken a $9 mil QO to keep him this year as a RFA was a contractual red flag, which is why other teams were leery of trading for him, as they knew Cat would cause a cap nightmare in 23-24. Dorion probably didn't even research his contract.

Interesting, we only saw him the one season so I wasn't sure if it was an outlier or not.

Yeah he was awfully snake bitten near the end of the year where he had like 2G in 28 games at one point.

Became an unexpectedly good set up man, probably got into his own head a bit with his lack of scoring.

All in all pretty much ended up as expected in the end, maybe slightly lower goal totals than expected but it was nice seeing Larkin have an actual good player beside him for the 1st time since Z retired

Prime candidate for that new most improved player award
