Bruins Should Call the Number on Dylan Larkin

Boston needs a true top-center answer, and Dylan Larkin is the kind of name that makes front offices sit up a little straighter. The Bruins know that the middle of the ice is where good intentions go to get tested, especially when the roster needs a spark that changes the whole look of the lineup. Any sweepstakes around a player like Larkin would be expensive, noisy, and very much the sort of thing that gets whispered about long before it gets done.
