I doubt Larkin would do all that well with Datsyuk
their play styles don't really mesh very well together,they both need the puck too much when they're doing well to really be on the same line

Datsyuk played great with Tatar and both of them require the puck a lot too. You never know unless you try.
I agree. It's worth trying, and Larkin is an upgrade on Helm. Datsyuk likes helm because of his quick puck retrieval abilities, and Dats can take advatange of it by being in the right place at the right time. With Larkin he'd have a player that causes chaos and wins puck battles he shouldn't. It might take them a bit to gel, but I can't believe they wouldn't work well together.

Need to milk everything possible out of Datsyuk. Let Larkin carry that Piano. Get Tats really going. We would have a good stew going.
Nyquist isnt playing like he did two years ago, Zetterberg is not what he once was. I think that line would struggle without Larkin.

Always love the so and so is playing well he should be next to Datsyuk logic... It never gets old.
I do think they should give Tatar a spin there. But Larkin has been great with Zetterberg and Abdelkader which is where he should stay.

Why is blash so reluctant to break up nyquist/sheahan/Tatar? They haven't exactly done much for the past 10-15 games.
Is he trying to force them to develop into good players away from the help of Datsyuk and Zetterberg? That's the only explanation I can think of.

I think Larkin would be great with Datsyuk. He does what Helm does but better and he can actually finish.

Tatar has been known to play well with Datsyuk. Playing him there at some point during the season is inevitable. Larkin has been great with Abs and Z.
Personally I think Larkin -hasn't- been that great over the last 6-8 games and in general our lines could use a change of pace. L
Giving Larkin and Dats a line together now or in the future ism't that outlandish.

Is Larkin as fast as Helm,or is Helm still the fastest guy on the team? Seems Helm may have lost a step in the last 2 seasons.
