The NHL Network spent this past summer ranking top players by position, and this morning, they begin releasing their list of the top 50 players regardless of position in the NHL. Of numbers 50 to 41, Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin occupies the 41st position:
41. Dylan Larkin, C, Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings captain is the ninth player in team history with four consecutive 30-goal seasons and the first to do it since Henrik Zetterberg from 2005-09. Last season, Larkin played all 82 games for the second time, finishing with 40 assists and 70 points, and had a goal and an assist in four games at the 4 Nations Face-Off to help the United States reach the championship game, a 3-2 overtime loss to Canada. The 29-year-old center has also had at least 13 power-play goals in each of the past three seasons.
I can’t embed it, but there’s a video of Mike Johnson and Corey Schneider discussing Larkin’s pluses posted within the article.
Update: you can watch the video here.
