from Dana Wakiji of DetroitRedWings.com,
Dylan Larkin has impressed many people around the league since he joined the Detroit Red Wings as a 19-year-old with one year of college hockey at Michigan under his belt.
But some of the people who are the most impressed by Larkin are the ones who play with him and see his admirable work ethic behind the scenes.
"Larkin, I have nothing but good things to say about that kid," veteran defenseman Jonathan Ericsson said Sunday. "He wants to become a great player and he's going to do what it takes to become it. He already is a very good player. He wants to be better defensively, he wants to be better offensively, he wants to be a better teammate, he wants to make the team better, not just himself. He's a young kid.
"Two years ago I wouldn't have thought that he would develop as much as a person as he has, on and off the ice. I say to myself or someone else, I would really want to have Larkin on my team. I think he's been really consistent and he goes hard every single night. He wants to win for his team."
Larkin just turned 21 this past summer yet he has already played in 235 career NHL games.
