Friedman: Dylan Larkin requests trade

[jetsforever]

So Detroit's definitely making the playoffs next year right?

Very much could be

We’ll know next season

Not likely he goes to a team where he's the leader, and not likely Detroit gets an immediate Top 6 Center replacement for him.

So no, we probably wont know next season.

Minnesota (not sure for what), Anaheim and LA all make sense as West fits

Mactavish and Zelly, Byfield as center pieces

Holland and Todd Mac would know both pieces in that hypothetical deal well

Marner is in a leadership with Vegas and this is his first season

So YES, we very much could know if it is just a cancerous organization, or cancerous player

Not sure you get what I'm saying...

... It's not likely Larkin is named the captain on his new team.

If he's willing and with the NMC that's a key point, Anaheim could be a good fit both ways. They've got their 1C so he'd be the 2C in a greatly reduced pressure role. Going back would be McT, probably Zell, and something smaller if needed depending on Detroit's needs. That would essentially be the same salaries so easy to fit. SY and PV have a long term relationship and have made deal before so negotiations probably wouldn't be too contentious.

McT at 23 would be a great piece if Detroit wants to rebuild, and with his expected bounce back next year, could be part of the rebuild to build around.

I've said in other threads that I'd rather that the Ducks keep McT to see how well he bounces back...but for Larkin, yeah that's workable.

Detroit isn’t trading Larkin for two healthy scratches lol. McTavish could be a smaller piece if they want to move him. Zell does nothing.

Judging by some of the reports going 'round (I don't recall where exactly) this has been going on since approximately 2023. Dunno if he's had a trade request out that long, but I think the "let them sit" approach has already been tried.

Yeah for this to go public now we arrived at the “stomp on the neck” part of the divorce to make things move quicker

 

[Hunter368]

Calm the wording down, friendly warning.

The point is that he has a week to make use of the 8th contract year before he is forced to trade him. Guerin will panic if he doesn't sign day one.. Quinn may even tell Bill to kick rocks if the Devils have Larkin in tow.

Why would he be forced to trade him if he doesn't sign in the first week? Yeah, there's the whole 8th contract year, but nobody is expecting him to sign for that long. If he stays, it's gonna be very likely a 3-year extension which can be agreed to any time in July or after.

I believe the cutoff to sign for the 8 years is in September, when the new CBA rules kick in.

Dylan Larkin requests trade out of Detroit and how to fix the Red Wings

This is shocking because he did put his heart and soul into the Red Wings. And personally I believe him to be one of the most under-apprecia...
