    Mantha is better-suited for multi-cat.

    I don't think there's any question that Mantha is the answer. Larkin is awesome but that awesomeness doesn't translate to fantasy.

    How about pts-only?

    Larkin is playing 20 mins a night and looking every bit the star people projected in his rookie year. I was (and am) still a firm believer that he is a future stud. Mantha might be as well, but boy I like what I see from Larkin so far. Very smart player.

    Monster Mantha for me.
    I traded Larkin away last year and drafted Mantha this year.
    That said, apart from Zetterberg, Mantha and Larkin are likely the only ones to own off of Detroit this year.
    Although the resurgence of Green is potentially the D man you'd want from the Wings if any?

    I did the exact same thing. I regret not having traded away Sam Bennett instead of Larkin. For some reason, every single person on these boards and Dobber as well prefers Bennett over Larkin, but in what I have seen so far, I'm the lone nut among the squirrels who believes Larkin is actually far and away the better player.

    I went with the overwhelming majority opinion and I hope they were right.

    I also hope Mantha is the better scorer, but they may be a lot closer than most think.

    As far as I can tell Mantha is basically a streaky power forward. So he will probably continue to score in bunches and then have droughts for hopefully short periods.
