Larkin is a lot better than the #2C on a lot of cup winning rosters... the way he is playing this season comparisons to prime Toews aren't far off. Just Larkin isn't surrounded by Hossa/Saad/Kane/Keith/Seabrook etc.Like someone posted here earlier. Would be a 2C on a contending team. 1C on the bottom 15 teams
Good, not great.
I think that's what Larkin is right now and will be going forward.
Just my opinion, i don't see a superstar in him for some reason.
Great, not elite. Star, not a superstar.
I didn't know there's a difference between great and elite. There's no "all-time elites", rather all-time greats. Larkin isn't going to be part of that group.
And the word star is used very loosely.. good players are being called stars all the time.
Yes but let's see the guy get at least 1 30 goal year first b4 we say he's had a better career? Crazy thought I know, but let's wait till a player does it (and I fully believe he's capable) b4 we lable of better not just base it on what we think will happen... Of wait this is hf... I'll see my self out.The guy with 8 seasons has a better career than the guy with 3? Amazing take. It took Kardi 7 seasons to be a 60pt player.

Back to back 30 goals still gives the edge to Kadri. Again no one is saying he can’t get there. Simply to date it hasn’t happened don’t see why fans are so bent over this. How dare we wait till a young player does it over a bigger sample size...Again hes already had more points than Kadris career high at 21yeatd old playing on one of the worst offenses in the league. When Kadri had to be the #1C on the Leafs he was a 40pt player.

I feel like over his career he'll be a Paul Stastny with a similar peak. He can be the number one centre and put up some better numbers, but once he's pushed down the depth chart and can take on a much more defensive role he will be a strong player.
Currently I have him around #20 overall.
I take the following 19 centres pretty easily over Larkin.
McDavid
Matthews
MacKinnon
Point
Eichel
Tavares
Backstrom
Malkin
Crosby
Scheifele
Giroux
Barkov
Bergeron
Stamkos
Seguin
Benn
Kuznetsov
Barzal
Kopitar
I'm splitting hairs but at the very least you have him inside the top 20 because Benn isnt a center.
