Friedman: Dylan Larkin requests trade

[NVious]

@Coffee wake up you're in a post about a trade!

I meant the unimportant non goat, aka Paul

 

[TheNewEra]

jt compher being the new 1C a decade into the yzerplan is sad and hilarious at the same time

 

[UrbanImpact]

No it isn’t bro lol

relax its a joke

 

[Gizmokov]

4 more years at 8.7 is a very movable deal too. Trade protection might hurt the return

 

[LemonSauceD]

Buddy if you think this guy isn't going to end up in Minnesota, I got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you

With what assets?

 

[Ricelund]

I'm glad Larkin made the decision for them. Time to build around Seider/Raymond/Edvinsson.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

People are mentioning Yurov as a centerpiece from Minnesota. I think JEE, both in terms of necessary value and what Detroit would want/need coming back, is a far likelier starting point.

Harder to swallow from Minnesota, but probably necessary.

With what assets?

You proposed 1st + Hage/Zharovsky from Montréal, lmao. You seriously think there's a single team in the league that can't beat that?

 

[NVious]

Canucks rebuild over:

3rd overall
Lekkerimaki
Mynio


Ep40
Larkin
Rossi
Chytil

Thats a stanley cup winning Centre core.

(Just don't ask about the rest of the team)

 

[Torontonian]

Makes sense, only so much losing and not making the playoffs someone can handle.

 

[333KIngs]

Yzerman is tight w beeker.

McTavish + Zell +

Book it

 

[DapperCam]

I'll throw in Buffalo as a dark horse. We really need top-6 center help and have the ammo to make a compelling offer. Norris would likely have to go the other way (he's a decent 2C when he's healthy, which is never).

 

[Shark Finn]

I meant the unimportant non goat, aka Paul

Well, be more careful next time, then.

 

[Bolduc of Hazzard]

Gotta be Minnesota bound. Feels like the right match.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Montreal is probably best positioned with their assets, but Larkin does control the process.

Minnesotas best asset is a goalie which is the position Detroit is already strong at. Billy might have to get creative to make it happen.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

f***ing hilarious that the dude threw a hissy fit over Yzerman not making a move last year, so Yzerman makes a move this year, Larkin’s play goes to shit, we lose a 1st round pick because he’s a crybaby, and now he wants to quit lol.

Bye Felicia.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Bill Guerin should be jumping all over for this!

Really depends on what detroit wants I guess? do they go full rebuild or try and patch it by trading him for a mctavish/ JEE piece.

 

[lilidk]

Yzerplan is done. Time to move on

Time for Yzerplan 2.0, new shorter rebuild

 

[Vergil]

I mean Detroit is a hell hole, not just organizationally... makes sense lmao

 

[StreetHawk]

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

Well, he bet on Yzerman's plan in 2023 vs hitting the open market or getting traded.

Gave them an elc, 5 year deal, then 8 years. Already through 3 years on this 8 year deal. Been 10 seasons of no playoffs for him.

Sucks for a local kid, but now that he turns 30 in '26 he probably realizes he does not have the time left anymore.

 

[Colezuki]

MTL would likely give up a haul if true, but I doubt detroit wants him in division

 

[RedHawkDown]

Thank God. This guy is a diva and a horrible leader, and it has been one of the worst captains in Detroit Red Wings history. Good player and I hope he does well elsewhere, but I am so happy he has asked for a trade and that we can finally move on from the pathetic Larkin era.

To be clear I also think Steve Yzerman is a terrible GM, but a Dylan Larkin lef team has collapsed four years in a row and he is a complete no-show when it matters.

 

[Realgud]

Wonder if he wants to join his childhood best friend (and remain close to home) in Columbus.

I don't know if that makes any sense but I'd do something like Johnson + Marrelli for Larkin.

 

[Captain97]

Reinbacher
Hage
1st

Assuming Habs can send Gallagher elsewhere.

 

[CapsSkins]

Larkin to WSH for Strome + picks/prospects
