Listen to WIIM Radio: The Letters-and-Numbers Edition

Welcome to the newest WIIM Radio! This time around we have me along with Peter, Prashanth and our brave host Kyle to run us through the paces. Here’s what we got up to:

The Larkin Deal - Larkin’s non-bridge deal plays well on the gamble on where he’s likely to fall on the realm of possibilities for reaching his ceiling. There’s a great chance it’ll be a very good deal to build around and even if it turns out all wrong, it’s still a decent deal.

The Transition - We all figure Larkin is the next captain with Zetterberg reaching the end of his career and eventually the end of his contract, but we talked about how Larkin’s deal fits very nicely into the most-sensible transition timeline from a standpoint of selling the team to fans who put so much stock into the value of the captaincy.
