Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen ranks Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin as the 6th-best center in the Atlantic Division:
6. Dylan Larkin, Detroit Red Wings
Now 27, Larkin is coming off his best NHL production of 79 points. He netted his third season of scoring 30 or more goals. He isn’t the premium scorer that some fans want him to be, but he can be a difference maker with his skating and skill. He’s a leader and he cares deeply about trying to get this team into the playoffs.
At this point of the Red Wings’ rebuild, Larkin plays a major role in whether they succeed or fail on a nightly basis.
