Normally triple pronounciation marks lends to that idea. I apologize if I read into something that wasn't there.
And no, the Wings don't have AHL filler. Libor Sulak and Filip Hronek in the first couple weeks were AHL filler. They just have lesser NHL players.
You can hate guys like Ericsson and current Kronner and DDK and Daley, but they're all at least bottom pairing NHL guys. Larkin tends to play with other NHL players. Have Larkin play only 4th line minutes with Glendening and Frk as his linemates. He'd stop producing as well.
Also, Larkin is in his 4th year of NHL play. Zadina hasn't reached the halfway point of year one. Larkin sure didn't look like he'd be this good throughout all of year two. I've heard nothing super concerning about Zadina's play. If you thought he was worth a top 6 pick at the draft, you should still think he's worth that. I mean, Jack Hughes is getting muscled around in this tournament, but he's still gonna be the top draft pick when the selections happen next year.
