Friedman: Dylan Larkin requests trade

[Zetterberg4Captain]

It's Larkins desire to be traded and the five years left on his contractual deal that play into SYs and Detroits hand..

You only wanna go to Minnesota..? We'll see you in camp...you don't show up...your contract is ported and you don't get paid..and still...5 years left

It's in Larkins best interest to expand his list to get his wish

 

[datsyukfan]

Except we're already finding out that he's apparently receptive to more teams lol. I'm guessing most teams in need of a center are looking at the UFA market and going f*** that, we need to be in on this.

And at the end of the day, Larkin could pull a Panarin and be like f*** you I'm only going to Minnesota... Except that Panarin was expiring in 3 months and NYR was going to lose him for nothing. With Larkin, OK, you only want to go to Minnesota? Well how bad do you want out of here, because Minnesota's not offering enough and other teams are.

Exactly. I just don’t see yzerman getting bullied here

So…the best case scenario is either total locker room destruction or simply not having the player or any return in the lineup…with a GM who should have already been fired surely being out by Christmas when that lands them at the bottom of the East immediately…and that’s…the leverage?

Wonder how the locker room morale will be with a trash return and a new 1C of Andrew Copp…

The team isn't a playoff team with or without Larkin...factual

It's in HIS best interest to expand his list...that's it..

Everything else you said is emotional nonsense

Of course Yzerman should play hardball and try to extract the best return but keeping Larkin on the team into next season against his will isn't necessarily going to result in Larkin expanding his trade list or the Red Wings getting a better offer. If Minnesota's offer is garbage then Yzerman might have to do that anyway but something like 1st+Yurov+Stramel is in line with market value for this type of asset. They're not getting Desnoyers or Lundell.

 

[ctmagic]

I'm not saying this to be an asshole, but I think an expanded list rules Minnesota out.

Hope… you hope it rules Minnesota out.

 

[Kjoe1988]

Do you understand that Yurov , Stramel and Wallstedt have mid round value ????

Larkin ain’t getting 5 1sts ….get f***ing real

Stramel is a 4th liner. Yurov is a 30pt center. Wallstedt is irrelevant to Detroit.

You and the rest of the Minnesota fanbase need to get a grip.


That package is TRASH.

Oh, he'd still show up. You can bench him and take him out of the lineup for sandbagging but you're still paying him, which is what his leverage is. It's very unlikely that a professional would behave that way but if he is stuck there until the end of this contract and decides a new contract elsewhere isn't going to happen after this one...why risk health by trying hard?

 

[rynryn]

Hope… you hope it rules Minnesota out.

depends on how expanded. There are a lot of teams out there who can afford to let go of more assets than we can. Will they though?

Well I guess we would see how bad Larkin wants out out. No wings fan is gonna be mad at yzerman for not taking a shit return for their captain.

 

[ctmagic]

It’ll be EP40

Honestly if Detroit took some assets from the MN trade and landed him whilst keeping Yurov…

Debrincat - EP40 - Raymond
Kasper - Yurov - Kane?

You can do worse.

 

[Gravity]

I don't get why Larkin's an ass. He wants to win a cup and Detroit isn't giving him the best chance to do that.

And Larkin is a 30 year old 2c , Sbyl boomer

Feels like ever since the Quinn Hughes trade there's been this expectation out of Minny that they can package off their remaining assets and get the 1C they really want.

When you repeatedly turn to playing like shit every March, you're not giving the team the best chance either...

 

[Gravity]

Don't follow the Wings so I don't know if the team sucks despite him or if he's part of the problem every March.

 

[lilidk]

Nobody outside of Minnesota thinks yurov is anything special. Keep it up though

There’s no “Kasper ptsd”, Kasper literally had an almost identical season to yurov this year

Kasper was the only guy who played physical game in Detroit

You keep saying shit like this but its just straight up not true lol. Lebrun has an article tonight basically saying Minnesota doesn't have the assets to make this trade without involving a third team for Wallstedt, but you think a guy with 27 NHL points, and a guy 2 years removed from an 8 point NCAA season + a pick is enough lol. Lebrun disagrees with you, so does Freidman

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Don't follow the Wings so I don't know if the team sucks despite him or if he's part of the problem every March.

Well you have two issues here...

As a player, when you score 1 5 on 5 goal in 43 games and go from March 1st to April 5th with 5 points in 10 games, (Only one 5 on 5) you're hindering the team.

As the captain of the team, when they spend 6 weeks largely playing like shit and not showing up for half the game, and then you go to the media and say you thought their effort was fine when it clearly wasn't, you're showing that you have zero awareness of the issue... And thus are the issue.

Your coach is out there saying half the team is "Just jerseys" skating out on the ice, while your captain, at the same time, is saying everything's fine and the effort was great. Well the results sure don't show it, Dylan.

Nobody thinks that

This is only partially true. Lebrun said he doesn't think Minnesota has the assets to get it done... But then qualified, "At least not the parts Detroit would want".

I think he's saying, as many of us have said, that Minnesota could put down adequate value, but it's just not the value Detroit needs.

 

[ctmagic]

I don't get why Larkin's an ass. He wants to win a cup and Detroit isn't giving him the best chance to do that.

I know, it’s his career in the hands of a GM that his lost his touch. He’s spent a decade there bleeding for the team and now he’s just a 2c, a quitter, and a locker room cancer. I don’t blame him or any athlete in their position for trying to take control of their own career.

 

[Stephen]

I feel second hand betrayal for the Detroit Red Wings. The man who they chose to lead them didn't get the job done and now he's made it like the team's issue.

So…the best case scenario is either total locker room destruction or simply not having the player or any return in the lineup…with a GM who should have already been fired surely being out by Christmas when that lands them at the bottom of the East immediately…and that’s…the leverage?

And the worst that can happen is they finally get a top 3 pick next year. It's not like they're playoff bound if they get rid of Larkin for peanuts.
