Larkin did not make the cut, but was listed among the honorable mentions. "In his fourth NHL season, Larkin led the Red Wings in goals (32), assists (41), points (73) and penalty minutes (75), and scored seven power-play goals and two shorthanded goals in 21:51 of ice time, best among Detroit forwards," they wrote. "The 23-year-old also won 54.5 percent of face- offs and was the first Red Wings player to score at least 30 goals since Marian Hossa (40), Johan Franzen (34), Pavel Datsyuk (32) and Henrik Zetterberg (31) in 2008-09." Jacob Trouba • NHL The New York Rangers' defenseman checked in at No. 15 on NHL. com's countdown of the top 20 players at his position. "Trouba had his most productive season in the NHL in 2018-19, when he had 50 points (eight goals, 42 assists) for the Winnipeg Jets, including 18 on the power play after he had 20 in his first five NHL seasons combined," the site wrote. "The 25-year-old was traded to New York on June 17 and agreed to a seven-year contract July 19." Zach Werenski • NHL The Columbus Blue Jackets' defenseman ranked No. 20 among players at his position on the NHL.com countdown. The 2017 final- ist for the Calder Trophy, annually given to the league's top rookie, scored 44 points (11 goals and 33 assists) last year and added an- other six (one goal, five assists) in 10 playoff games. "He's going to be, within a couple years, top 10, there's no doubt about it," NHL Net- work analyst Ken Daneyko said. "… He's a guy that you're going to be able to count on in every situation for a lot of years in Columbus, and a guy that always — I would expect — [will] be able to be in the top 20 for years to come, but I expect him to climb." — Ryan Tice HEADLINERS Former Michigan athletes in the news this month
