Dylan Larkin says he hasn't talked to Yzerman about the captaincy. Says there's a lot of deserving options: "I look up to those guys, we have guys in our room that battle every night. We have a great leadership core...I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s three A's again."

Dylan Larkin on the young core taking on more leadership: "It’s kind of our turn to take it. You get that window in your career - I’m 23. Andreas and Anthony (Mantha) are 24, 25. It’s our time. We can’t wait two years."

Dylan Larkin on Niklas Kronwall: "He’s one of the greatest people I’ve ever met in my life... would do anything for his teammates, do anything for staff members, do anything for a kid or someone who was a fan of hockey. We’re going to miss him. I’m going to miss him big time."
