The Journey: Dylan Larkin

Looking ahead to the fantasy upside of Dylan Larkin …
In this week's edition of The Journey we take a look at Detroit's Dylan Larkin, a hometown product that will have a big impact on the Red Wings future.
As a native of Waterford, Michigan, Larkin grew up with the Detroit Red Wings organization right in his backyard. From a young age, he was a member of the vaunted Belle Tire 96's playing alongside fellow prospects Alex Nedeljkovic, Zach Werenski, Ryan Mantha and Brendan Perlini.
His path next led him to the US National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Michigan. With the U18 National team, Larkin often played second fiddle to the top line of Jack Eichel, Alex Tuch, and Sonny Milano. Even though he was the second-line center and often tabbed in a shut down role, he still managed to thrive offensively, putting up 56 points in 60 games. It was in Ann Arbor where Larkin developed the two-way game he possesses today.
After being selected as the 15th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, there may not be another American prospect outside of Eichel that had a better 2014-15 season then Larkin.
