Value of: Dylan Larkin

Lol, fine player, but no he does not.

No one goes to an NHL game to see him play specifically

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.

Gonna bump this as there’s a not so zero chance he gets moved this off season. Is it likely? No. Is it a possibility that he may want out? Huge possibility.

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.

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.

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.
 
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.

Flyers are interested.

Not sure you could get a younger highly drafted C back (like mentioned above) for him, wouldn't make much sense for that team I would think.

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?

Yep, I do this as a Habs fan.
If Detroit wants Mailloux instead of Hage for some reason that would work too.
I'd be willing to give Newhook instead of Beck if Detroit wants a more proven commodity.

Although I suspect Detroit would be looking for more of a 'hockey trade', which would make the Habs poor trading partners.

Columbus has centers but other areas that need obvious improvement, don't think their resources will be used for that position
