Remarkable season thus far.
Think his ceiling in a successful team is just shy/pushing PPG.
I'm hoping that his peak years will be consistent 60-70 points.
agreed. pretty much toews like numbers

What do you guys see Larkin as at his peak?
It's amazing that he's currently our best player and is on pace for 69 points on a terrible team that has trouble scoring.
2 assists away from being in the top 10 among forwards in assists. Prior to this season, who would have thought that was even remotely possible?
All while PLAYING CENTER, being defensively responsible, and winning > 50% of his face-offs.
The points surprise me less than how many are assists. The thing I would have found least likely is being north of 50% on draws.
im not sure what the hell has gotten into this kid but he's been making beautiful on the tape passes to the right players left and right all season.
Work ethic and character aren't exactly the same thing, though. Kudos to the kid for honing his game, and from that standpoint he's making fantastic strides, but he still whines too much to the refs for my liking.
Not a huge impact on his overall benefit to the team, but an annoying character flaw (for me) nevertheless.

Mike Modano is from my hometown of Westland he lived down the street from my best friend and when i would go over to my friends house we would watch Mike shot the puck at his Mom Karen who was playing goalie it was funny to watch him back then.There was a picture of teenage Modano surrounded by a gazillion trophies at Lakeland Arena in an archive of a newspaper I worked at.
...Also, some awesome NHL talent has spent their youths playing out of Lakeland arena. Pat Lafontaine, Mike Modano, and now Larkin. How many of you would ever guess Mike Modano was actually cut from a youth team out of lakeland when he was a kid because at the time he was simply kind of bad at hockey. He eventually found his way on to the team my grandfather coached, and although he was nothing special on that team either he sure as hell found his stride and flourished at some point.
