It's a message board, though, Kliq - not an academic peer review.
Someone can say Larkin is a 2C at best. That's not exactly an earth-shattering opinion.
Last year he played like a 1C.
But this year's stats look like 2C stats - despite first line, first PP minutes.
I think Larkin is a 1C - by necessity. Not an ideal 1C, though. And probably not a 1C on a good team.
For all the assists he gets, I don't really see him as a classic puck distributing center.
Put I see him as the best player on this team today, so what are you going to do?
I hoped Veleno might be that guy who could become a 1C, but that doesn't seem likely given where he is in D+2 and where Larkin was at the same age.
Saying hes a 2C at best is trolling considering we've seen his best and it was at the level of a first line center already in his young career. At his age, 2C at best implies that hes not even a 2C right now.
I think hes blatantly, ridiculously obviously a 2C right now at least, not at best. Anyone that wants to argue he isnt at the very least a second line center right now are out to lunch.
