I want a similar amount of draft capital coming back this year as last year, two 2nds and 4th. Preference goes to picks in 2022 and 2023 given that the Wings are loaded up for 2021 already. The Wings can retain any amount of salary necessary to make it work, and can take back bad contracts as well. I think LGD, Ryan, Bernier and (I guess) Staal can get there. Anything more would be the cherry on top.
I could say the same about literally every player on this roster. But I also don't want to punt Larkin (or any of Mantha, Bert or Hronek for the matter) off for cheap, either. I'm fine with hanging onto Larkin as our roster improves, he should be a useful top 6 player for years to come and a good locker room presence, but if some team gets desperate and offers a king's ransom for him I wouldn't bat an eye. Seider has excellent intangibles as well, I really think he will be wearing a letter as early as 2022.I wouldn't say no to the right offer. Larkin will never be the top line center some thought he'd be.
