    Default Larkin for 1st/2nd pick?

    Hey everyone,

    Wondering your thought on trading away Larkin in a keeper pool for the 1st or 2nd overall pick. Could be Matthews, or one of the Finns. League and team deets below. Thoughts?

    Thanks!

    I'm with StuntMan, I would do it for Matthews but not one of the Fins. Larkin is fast and talented and has huge opportunity ahead of him as the older Wings disappear.

    I would make the trade...to me Larkin is good, but I think he's similar to Monahan (who many project to be a "poor man's" Toews). Figure to hover around 60 points a season, playing a full two-way game as an elite #1 center. But I just feel that Puljujarvi and Laine have higher offensive ceilings than Larkin but a similar floor. No need to discuss Matthews, that's a no brainer, but even for one of the two Finns, I would do this.

    For the 1st overall I'd move Larkin. For the 2nd overall I'd want there to be a plus (prospect or extra pick).

    Thanks for all the responses! I was thinking I would do a conditional pick in there - maybe he gets my 2nd rounder if I get Matthews and I get his 3rd if don't.

    Anyone else have any thoughts?
