Larkin’s Ask Met With a Cold Front From Yzerman

Dylan Larkin went to Steve Yzerman looking for help, and that is where the conversation got real. In this league, when a star is asking for backup, the room already knows the answer probably lives somewhere between patience and a hard reset. The message here sounds less like a rescue and more like a front office telling everyone to keep moving. That is how bad teams stop pretending they are one tweak away.
