I also think he's trying to insulate Larkin from criticism. The captain is the face of the franchise and the player tasked with answering the medias questions after a loss. Larkin still largely fills this role but more of the blame and pressure to turn the team around would rest on his shoulders as the captain. Yzerman knows that we're going to be terrible and remembers being a young captain during losing seasons.
Ok?Because despite your vendetta, he's likely to be the next captain.
That was actually my point.... maybe he's planning on trading Larkin eventually. He's got the type of game that doesn't age well.Which brings up another thing, can we just announce Larks as the new captain already? Damn
The expectation is that Larkin is going to be named captain between now and the start of the upcoming season. The poster was asking for the announcement to be made sooner rather than later, likely for a bit of intrigue, excitement, and something to talk about.
You’ve historically been skeptical about Larkin being good enough, or mature enough, or qualified enough, or the right fit for the role of captain. I addressed the low hanging fruit. Unless of course you were more confused why someone would want the announcement to be made.
And what has changed? His one decent season two years ago? (Are you happy you just baited me into this bs again?)The expectation is that Larkin is going to be named captain between now and the start of the upcoming season.

What reality? That he is not the captain? And you know what I want? Ok bud...Oh I didn’t bait you into anything. I just made a statement.
Nothing has changed. He was positioned to be the next captain before this past season started, and it’s closer to happening now that Yzerman has suggested he’s prepared to name one before this upcoming season.
There’s really not even an argument that can be made; we are just dealing with reality, and you want so bad for it to not be true.
What reality? That he is not the captain? And you know what I want? Ok bud...
You quoted me at 6am telling me what I want? Stop quoting me first thing in the morning? If you don't like my answer? Lol?You try to have yourself a good day. I won't be able to entertain you because literally anything is better than trying to have something that resembles a valuable conversation with you on this topic.
You quoted me at 6am telling me what I want? Stop quoting me first thing in the morning? If you don't like my answer? Lol?
What a weird response.You quoted me at 6am telling me what I want? Stop quoting me first thing in the morning? If you don't like my answer? Lol?
What else do you know about me? LMAO!!!And trash talking @6am means what you are doing at that time isn't that important....Not that this post is worth a second of my time, but quoting you at 6am means nothing? Some people have jobs that they need to wake up for? I don't know if you do, but 6am is just me browsing the internet while sipping a cup of coffee. Just happens to be the first time I see your response.
Don't pretend like you're special or that you are getting unique treatments. Your post history is pretty telling whenever the name Larkin gets brought up as the next captain. I don't need to tell you what you want, because you've publicly hinted at it for over a year. You're not as slick as you think you are.
Based on your handle I know you're not bias so I appreciate the input bud..What a weird response.
My post had nothing to do with the Larkin being a captain situation, it was just your response thinking a poster is eager to respond to your messages at 6 am.Based on your handle I know you're not bias so I appreciate the input bud..
Since you are his lawyer what do you call quoting someone that wasn't even talking to you @6am?My post had nothing to do with the Larkin being a captain situation, it was just your response thinking a poster is eager to respond to your messages at 6 am.
