Did Dylan Larkin Turn Pro Because Of Jeff Blashill?

It's been a whirlwind ride for Dylan Lakin ever since the wings drafted him. He had an incredible season at the University of Michigan, was one of team USA's best forwards in the World Juniors, and performed very well in the World Championships. He finished his freshman season at UofM, decided to begin his professional career now, and joined the Griffins for their Western Conference Finals series where jumped right in and make an impact.

It didn't take Larkin very long after being drafted to become widely touted as one of the top prospects not already in the NHL, but we were left to wonder how long before we'd see him in a Wings jersey.
