If the formula for a successful NHL trading card season includes a heavy dose of top, young players, the 2015-16 season is already one of the best ever.  Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel may have gotten a lot of the early attention but Dylan Larkin rookie cards are now getting plenty of attention from hockey card collectors.

Michigan Man

Dylan Larkin Young Guns hockey cardThe Big Ten Rookie of the Year at Michigan last year, Larkin was taken by the Detroit Red Wings with the 15th pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.  Those who watched him in Ann Arbor wouldn’t have to go far to witness the launch of his NHL career.

After a brief stint last spring in the AHL, Larkin became the first teenager to make the Wings’ opening roster in 25 years and made an immediate impact.  He set a franchise rookie record with points in five straight games to start the season.  He had a goal and an assist his NHL debut and tallied 13 goals and 11 assists in his first 34 games.
