Can they get one more scoring threat, goal-creating threat that alleviates some of the pressure off of Kucherov, off of Point, and maybe Sorelli goes into a more natural spot there as a true shutdown third-line center rather than

the second line center who's still going to do the amazing shutdown work, but you need offense out of your second line.

Does that spot make a lot of sense for a team that kind of needs some freshening up?

They got Gensel, they got pieces, but they would probably love one more crack at having a true cup run and knowing Florida's going to be back next year.

with a healthy Barkov who's lifting trophies overseas, do you say, hey, we kind of need that?

I think this is going to be a very, very interesting market for him.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the Elias Pedersen conversation?

Because I wonder if there's a team that's like really far along in the process and loses it and says, you know what?

We've already committed to giving up this much.

Why don't we give up for the next piece?

For Detroit, you might want the...

if you want to stick to the idea of like how this is all trending and rather than reversing the tanker and saying like okay we're rebuilding again yeah like I can see it from Detroit saying like hey no this is not part for us but I'm talking about like if there's competing teams going for Larkin right if there's a team that misses out and says well you know we may as well just like keep exploring the center market for for this far along yeah I think it's a fair question but like I think you're either in on PD or not like if you're if you're waiting to for Larkin to come available you're

in terms of... It's just too big of a risk.

Right?

Here's Filip Hronik back.

Here's this guy back.

This is a team you want to short right now.

Yeah.

But he is living the Dark Knight thing of...

die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
