It is 22-year-old Dylan Larkin; the front office has I.D’d as the one who will lead the Wings through the rebuild. He is a newly named alternate captain. As not a replacement for longtime Detroit Red Wings captain, Henrik Zetterberg has been tabbed just yet. Many inside and outside the organization fully expect Dylan Larkin to be crowned with the “C” as early as next season.
It is Larkin’s focus and his growth as a player that makes him the correct choice to spearhead the franchise forward. It is his pure love for the game that has the attention of his teammates and peers around the league.
