THE ATHLETIC IS GARBAGE
Except, he isn’t that weak or soft. He needs to put on some muscle, but he’s definitely not weak or soft even compared to some NHL players I could name. Beyond that accusing him of being a floater makes me really believe you haven’t watched him since the beginning of December. And honestly to call it floating is disingenuous. He looked in over his head for the first quarter of the season, and was caught behind plays, but that’s not floating. Finally, Larkin wasn’t NHL ready his D+1. And he was playing in a lesser league. You can make claims about maturity or work ethic, but that’s your claim. The Wings organization seem to like his level of engagement and ethic.
If they really think that then he'll play a full NHL season next season.
