Evaluating The Canadiens’ Pursuit Of Larkin: Talent Vs. Reality
from Montreal Hockey Now, by Marc Dumont,
It comes as no surprise that the Montreal Canadiens are still seeking a solution to their second-line woes, and that includes inquiring about the availability of Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin.
As it stands, they can use either Alex Newhook or Oliver Kapanen in that role, but neither player produces the underlying numbers expected of a top-six pivot. Consequently, head coach Martin St. Louis does not deploy the second line when the game is on the line, significantly limiting his options in crunch time.
