Friedman: Dylan Larkin requests trade

[WarriorofTime]

honestly bit of a saving grace for Red Wings if he does and it forces a "rebuild the rebuild" hand a bit more. Especially since with 5 years and a personal request, he's likely waiving to enough for the Wings to get real trade value.

Obviously Yzerman flopped spectacularly but the Wings org is better longterm trading Larkin and scaling back for 2-3 years.

Habs, Minnesota, Carolina, LA, and Utah could make sense imo.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

All part of the plan

 

[Sky04]

Yzerman wasted his whole career

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Good. Not surprised after his complaints about the team not getting him more help at the trade deadline.

Well they did acquire 34 year old Justin Faulk for the 15th overall pick, 73rd overall and also Buchelnikov … lol

To NJ for Hischier
To ANA for McTavish+
To MIN for Yurov+

Good news is that several teams could use a 1C/2C like Larkin so there should be plenty of interest. And I don't blame him one bit. This slow walked rebuild non-sense would be super frustrating, especially at his age. He has several good years left and it's hard to blame him for wanting to do it for a contender.

To Philly for...?

 

[David Suzuki]

wont be long for seider either i imagine

 

[SC Cannon]

Everytime CBJ and Detroit play the commentators shove Larkin and Werenskis friendship down our throats.

So they might as well play together I guess.

America

Wear it with pride

Nylander for Larkin would be hilarious. Would love to see some crazy trades for once.

 

[KaprizovSaveUs]

Minnesota doesn't have the pieces they would be willing to move to acquire him.

*insert crying emojis*

 

[tfong]

Timing isn't bad at least with the age group of the new Red Wings.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Nearly a decade of rebuilding and trying to make the playoffs and now you have no 1C.

Yeah Yzerplan has failed.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Not bucking up for Quinn Hughes was a disaster for Detroit. It's where he wanted to go too, and I bet Larkin stays if they do.

Yzerman is an awful GM.

the Yzerplan:

Just do nothing but keep drafting until you luck out and find your own Quinn Hughes, Kucherov, and Point. Easy.

yes, in NY

 

[Crede777]

He has an NTC so I think he will have a say in his destination.

 

[Jee]

Ayyy we need a second line Winger on Demidov's line, come on down !

 

[StickShift]

Anaheim feels like a fit with a package built around McTavish

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Larkin for Robo. Larkin for Fantilli. Larkin for 1st OA. Larkin for Levshunov+Nazar

Excuse me???

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Larkin for Robo. Larkin for Fantilli. Larkin for 1st OA. Larkin for Levshunov+Nazar

I think you’re gonna be pretty disappointed with the return.

 

[SirPaste]

This has Minnesota written all over it

 

[DesertPenguin]

How do you let it get so bad that your lunch pail captain, born and bred Michigan boy, wants out? This feels worse than Marner leaving TOR.

 

[LemonSauceD]

one of Hage or Zharovsky + 1st for Larkin seems like a no brainer.

 

[KaprizovSaveUs]

Ayyy we need a second line Winger on Demidov's line, come on down !

Would probably cross off Canada as an option

 

[GhostfaceWu]

seems like the most likely fit for both sides... Ducks have enough young talent and a clear #1A C so that Larkin can slot into the support role he's far better suited for.

RedWings get a high upside C replacement that's probably about as good a talent for talent replacement they will get in moving from Larkin.

Beniers from Seattle is another option that might work for both sides, if the Kracken are looking to make a big shakeup

lol hes not a high c replacement and detroit would be idiotic downgrading from larking to a 40 pt mctavish. The plus would have to be like mcqueen +++
