I fear you underestimate the number of children that live in the state of Michigan who will drag their parents to a game to see the guy who is on the poster on their wall.
Unless children are no one's.

people will come up with any excuse to drag the red wings through the mud. listen man, i'm sorry that detroit used to wreck your favorite team throughout your entire childhood. maybe you should try counseling instead of making bad faith arguments on the internet

I ain't afraid of no ghost
Still 0 chance.
How about this. To any fan of an opposing team that wants Larkin. Pick a center in your lineup that's 25 years old or younger and you KNOW is better than Larkin. There should be 0 doubt in anyone's mind that you're downgrading. Also they have to be on a great contract. Then add a top 15 pick or a young, cheap top 4 defenseman.
That's the price. Want to pay it? I didn't think so.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
I think he's quite happy in Detroit and Detroit needs him more than they think. Plus it's his hometown team.
If I'm trading him, I'm putting quite a high value on him because he's got all the tools imaginable and the only one I can think of that has just as many is likely McDavid.
Larkin is the definition of the perfect player minus the physicality.

Run the Jewels
Make Detroit Great Again
Yeah, there's no way Detroit is dangling him given he's signed long term on a very reasonable contract.
Agreed, Like as a habs fan he's exactly what we need behind (or in front of) suzuki and I'd be willing to give up a kings ransom to get him.
Something along the lines of our 2-1sts this year, our 1st next year, Struble and Kapanen,
Hell I'd even be willing to do Hage and a 1st
I know Detroit fans won't take it but in my head that's kind of the offer I'd expect teams to give up for him
I don't see the Wings trading him unless it's for a better or equivalent and younger or similarly aged center. So that would be for one of Hughes, Thompson, Thomas, Eichel, Suzuki, Stützle, Johnston, Celebrini or Bedard. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for everybody involved
The Eastern conference is a puddle of similarly decent teams fighting for a limited number of playoff spots, so I get it must be deflating for some Wings fans, but they're way too good to rebuild which is what trading Larkin for lesser pieces would amount to

He’s about to hit 4 straight years of 30+ goals while putting up 70 points every year and 55% in the faceoff dot. He’s worth a lot more than just hage and a 1st and you know that.

still trying to trust the yzerplan
Bumping this. Would there be any interest from teams like Columbus or LA? I doubt Columbus trades Fantilli for anything, but maybe something around Byfield if LA wants to make one more run?
Interested to hear other fans' thoughts.

I am stealing someone elses idea but I agree with them.
2025 1st, 2026 1st, Jiricek and Dvorsky plus Leddy and Joseph to balance cap. Thats what I would be willing to offer.

Don’t see any of those teams trading a younger centre for an older one. Maybe Thompson, but rest makes no sense.

Why bump this idea of trading Larkin? Detroit trades him and isn’t that a step back?

His comments in the exit interviews posted over the weekend has taken something that probably had 0% chance before to somewhere greater than 0% chance, albeit a very small chance.
