Hes not wrong, although definitely not 4th line C. Hes not better than Stamkos or Point. Im sure someone would play wing though.
Which of these two randomly selected players would you put in the middle:
Player X:
Faceoffs - 289
FOW% - 48.8
SH FOW% - 33.3
Player Y:
Faceoffs - 593
FOW% - 55.1
SH FOW% - 71.4
Yeah but you don’t waste one of the league’s best faceoff guys by putting him on the wing, nor do you waste a player of Larkin’s caliber in the bottom 6. He’d be center and Point would play the wing. Pretty simple to figure out.More to a player then just faceoff's
Tampa is bad at faceoff's but hey keep on winning
That was a pretty sick pass to Hronek today. That assist has him with point(s) in 16 of his last 17 games played. He also broke the red wings record for overtime goals in a season with that nasty goal against Nashville the other night. I know 3 on 3 changes things but to break an original 6 record with the number of all time greats Detroit has had and doing it in half of a season is pretty sweet.
Third. He isn't beating out Matthews or Tavares, but he would indeed be above Kadri at this point. Assuming he doesn't move to the wing.
Pretty good second-line center. Might make the Maple Leafs' fourth line.
Agreed, Tampa is another team where he would be 3C if no one is moving to the wing (which seems unlikely). Also can add Pittsburgh, Washington and Edmonton to that list. Funny thing is that all those teams aside from Edmonton are considered elite Cup Contenders (and Draisaitl still sometimes gets time with McDavid); being able to roll multiple lines driven by franchise centres is becoming a standard blue-print to success.Hes not wrong, although definitely not 4th line C. Hes not better than Stamkos or Point. Im sure someone would play wing though.
Hard to believe 14 players were picked above him. I actually had him higher on my draft board. Top 10.
But in a redraft I can safely say only 1 player right now deserves to go higher. Draisaitl.
I would go 1-3 right now from players picked in the 1st rd.
Pastrnak
Draisaitl
Larkin
Add Point from the 3rd rd as the 4 best players from this draft.
He's a very good #2C, Borderline #1C with better wingers around him.
Great point about context.
He's as important to Detroit as McDavid is to Edmonton. He'd be a 3 or 4C for the Lightning, but they'd likely put him on a wing instead of moving either Cirelli or Paquette out of the lineup because, again, context matters.
He's a very good #2C, Borderline #1C with better wingers around him.
I don't think you can win with him as 1C but he would be very good 2C.
