00:03coming up next hour we'll get into some of what scott harris had to say yesterday as the
00:08detroit tigers held their season-ending news conference there was some interesting stuff said
00:15and probably some stuff that pissed people off but we'll play it for you today at one o'clock
00:19um so frank cerebelli uh nhl insider uh says regarding dylan larkin quote i talked to a
00:29general manager who is in a conversation with the wings trying to land this player this week
00:35and he's like they want back a younger version of larkin
00:43so how are we supposed to react to that are we supposed to think how dare they or are we
00:54supposed
00:54to think yeah because i i don't yeah that's where i am yeah i don't have any problem with
01:05the red wings holding out for top value for dylan larkin in fact i have no problem with the red
01:10wings moving forward with dylan larkin on their team because i think he's a valuable piece to this
01:15team i know he's asked for the trade request great you can ask for it doesn't mean you're going to
01:20get
01:20it um you know unless we get proper value in return this is a guy who's you know just write
01:27it in stone
01:27every year 30 goals look at his contract five more years left at eight million dollars plus per season
01:37is a freaking steal in today's nhl that value right there it should should tell you all you need to
01:48know
01:48about why the red wings should hold out for what's best when you've got players that are now signing
01:52new contracts for 16 18 20 million dollars a season because the salary cap is going to go up
01:59substantially in the next couple years over the next couple years teams are willing to pay players now
02:05and pay them a lot more you know if larkin were heading into free agency he'd be looking at 15
02:11million
02:11plus per season so yeah they should look for something pretty good in return i don't have any problem
02:17with that uh the issue is to try to find a comp that's a young dylan larkin to find that
02:24player
02:24what team is he on and is that team aligned with one of the teams that they're that they're on
02:29his
02:29list you know and can you make a deal happen that way otherwise it's it's probably not going to happen
02:35that way and the red wings at some point are going to have to either ride it out with dylan
02:40larkin or
02:40pivot and say okay now we'll take draft capital and and prospects alex tuck getting 10 and a half
02:46a year marchenko getting over 12 a year 30 goal scores dylan larkin kind of production different
02:53players of course but to have dylan larkin locked up for five years at 8.7 is an incredible value
03:03in this day and age they should be asking for top type prospects back because this player
03:13on this contract with this value is financially speaking he's a bargain for other teams he's a
03:24bargain for this team which is why i don't find this report to be shocking or anything other than
03:33good they should this is what they should be looking for right am i missing something do teams
03:38think the red wings are desperate because the red wings don't have to act like they're desperate
03:43it's a mess right now don't get me wrong but i think dealing for any for dealing him for anything
03:50less than this would be a mistake adam fantile just signed a contract a six-year deal for 13.75
03:57million
03:57dollars a season six years 82 and a half million dollars he's played three years in the nhl
04:04he's gone from 12 goals and 27 points to 31 goals and 54 points to 24 goals and 59 points
04:12i mean that's what he's getting yep so the value for larkin is it really is sky high it should
04:19be sky
04:20high and they should hold out for what's best but the problem is it's the list of teams he's he's
04:26willing
04:26to go to those teams don't have the players to make the trade happen 248-539-9797 brandon in shelby
04:36township here on 971 hello brandon what's up guys how's going good so besides uh so when we blew it
04:45last year larkin got hurt and then the only difference was we lost kane but um so i'm a half
04:50season ticket
04:50holder and the people next to us showed us they have shirts that says hot and ready to trade uh
04:56larkin so when people are asking if they're going to like boo larkin if they're going to accept larkin
05:02to be honest i don't think we're going to do that bad because i mean larkin got hurt and we
05:06didn't do
05:07that good and um i think we're going to be good but when it comes to wait wait wait you
05:12think the
05:12you think the red wings are going to be good this year i don't think they're going to be good
05:16but i
05:17don't think they're going to be that bad i mean we didn't like so are they going to be a
05:23playoff team
05:23this year i think we could hit a wild card team i mean we weren't that bad until larkin went
05:29out
05:30and then larkin came back and then we got the guy from st louis but um people are bashing in
05:36larkin
05:37and i understand like people don't know if they're going to accept him or boo him but the people in
05:42my section they already bought shirts that says hot and ready to boo larkin which i don't agree
05:48with well look i mean i fans can do whatever they want it it's i remember when every anything that
05:57got reported business-wise i was at a point in my life and a younger doug a younger version of
06:02doug
06:02used to just scream and yell you should be lucky you're getting paid anything i'd do anything for
06:07that job you know and that whole thing then you get into it and you start to understand the business
06:13side of it and you realize that you know there's a lot of moving parts and and it's it's i
06:20think i
06:20would advise a younger version of doug to not pay attention to it because you can drive yourself
06:25crazy the older version of doug understands that this is part of the job um so i don't get mad
06:31at
06:31fans i used to i used to i would i could probably sense that i would be at one point
06:37in my fandom
06:38really mad at larkin and really mad at durin really mad because it should be about the team
06:44and it should be about winning championships and the less money you make the more the organization
06:48has to spend on other players why don't you want to win but well they just released their roster
06:54yesterday i believe and he's on it and there are players that are not on the roster because of
06:59injury designations uh retro to different dates they could have done that with him and they didn't
07:05yeah he looks like by all indications he's going to play on friday night when the season opens up
07:10i hope they're holding out for a very very lucrative return package for dylan larkin and don't trade him
07:17for anything less because they don't have to right they don't his value is really high so um with that
07:24said i don't know who's going to score goals for this team well i think you've got to bring it
07:29and lucas
07:30raymond right off the bat i mean to bring it scored over 40 last year raymond is a point a
07:34game guy
07:34and scored 25 last year but beyond that that's your that's your your question and if you're going
07:41to and i mean larkin's here now i mean write him in for 30 goals a season that's three guys
07:46but beyond that it's going to have to be players that really step up their game players like emmet
07:52finney uh you're going to have to see uh bradzik negard really step up i mean and lots expected of
07:59him that okay now that you've gotten your taste of the nhl let's move forward he had a pretty
08:04good training camp so let's see what's there guys like nate danielson that made the roster
08:09okay what do you got and then they've you know they've uh gotten a couple players uh one through
08:15trade one through uh free agency in the off season two arvidsson and uh and colisars we'll see how
08:20they i hope some of the young guys step up and maybe you know hit the ground running um well
08:25they
08:25have they were like a bottom third offense a year ago and i'm casper's got to be a guy that
08:29steps up
08:30and raspison they say it every year about raspison right so um otherwise it's going to be a struggle
08:37outside the top line to find goals okay uh coming up next hour the detroit tigers held their season
08:44ending news conference will play for you the best of what uh scott harris had to say if you missed
