If Larkin decided he wanted to expand his trade list to Toronto what would you guys give up for him?

Reilly would have to agree to go the other way. I’d send him, Cowan, Tverberg and Avs first.

A bag of pucks.
I don't like the way Larkin conducted himself in Detroit.

I don’t think we can put a package together that won’t hurt us going forward. Cowan ya ok, but he may turn into a comparable player. Also, for the package it would take to acquire Larkin, we’d be better off getting a defensman as it would be a top pairing. As for the Willy haters' plan: simple, he’s not payed for his defense.
He’s been our top 3 producer with Marner here, and our top without him. I could give you a long list of successful players that weren’t know for the backcheck, and if you watched him last year, you would have seen he’s capable.

Larkin has never broken 80pts in a season. He’s a centre, but is he really an upgrade from Tavares, who got more points last season albeit he played more games but is 5yrs older and half the cost of Larkin.
There’s a reason no teams are jumping at the chance to get him, especially the ones he prefers to go to. I would give up a big package for him, my opinion.

I agree, Champ. Bang for your salary cap Dollar if he stays healthy, JT is a better deal for us without selling the farm to get Larkin. In fact, If thus team does not perform well, JT becomes a very valuable commodity at the trade deadline if he decides he wants a shot at a cup run elsewhere.
He is the type of player a playoff bound team looking for a key piece would pay dearly for. If he did win a cup I think he would retire while still healthy and performing well.
