Value of: Dylan Larkin

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Thats a good offer.

It’s not good enough lol

With the age of your core it's really not the worst idea. Maybe get kulich or ostlund in there too..

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

It’s not good enough lol

It probably is, but Larkin isn't waiving to Buffalo so pretty moot point.

A big part of this exercise is if he wants to go to the front office and request a trade where is he willing to go.

 

[FinnishCoyote]

I doubt that he will be traded, but Utah would obviously be interested

Iginla
Kesselring
25 1st

Not to hijack the thread,
If the Sharks end up at 2 or 3
Would you swap 1sts for Guenther and Kesselring?

I wouldn't trade Guenther for 1st overall

 

[SirloinUB]

I don't want Larkin traded unless he asks for it and I don't see him asking.

Pick #16
Pick #17
Michael Hage
Owen Beck
1 of Jaden Struble/Mike Matheson/Adam Engström

Honestly a pretty good offer if they go for futures.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

I'll give it a shot with a futures package, but I understand he's probably not traded.

Carolina's 1st 25
Dallas' 1st 25
Andrei Svechnikov
Jackson Blake

How about a deal including Rossi & Boldy for Larkin & Kasper? Add picks/borderline prospects to sweeten the deal to one side.

Nope. Kasper is too important to our future center depth.

This sounds like a fantastic way to obliterate Detroit's center depth for the next 5-7 years...

 

[Captain97]

Detroit isn't trading Larkin, and this is beyond trash return. A lot of teams including MN would beat this easily.

That's more than Eichel or Ryan O'Reilly got. I understand Detroit may not want to move Larkin and if they do may not want futures . But Two mid 1sts,a prospect that was a mid 1st last year + extras, and no negative assets is a ton of value.

Eichel is not a comparable situation to just about anybody.

Great, what about my other comparable. And if Larkin gets moved what would he go for?

Your other comparable has been traded 3 times, so maybe you should be a little more clear on which one you're asking about.

The one that is a a direct comparable to this one... where he was a two way left handed defensively elite Centre traded near 30 with term on a good contract. Buffalo to St. Louis

I dunno thats alot of quantity with no proven quality. The buffalo offer was WAY better.

 

[Kegs]

I’d say a couple of firsts or equal maybe another pick and an nhl ready centre.

Thanks for clearing up. As a recap, that trade was Tage Thompson, (Former 1st) 1st round pick, and 2nd round pick, + extras.

Which kinda looks pretty close to this...

There's some gap sure, when you consider that STL happened to win the Cup, and the 2nd is a 2nd... But O'Reilly also had never come remotely close to a PPG season at that time. Larkin has been right around there three of the last four seasons.

How about not from wild end! Boldy isn’t going anywhere

O'Reilly also played on far worse teams in Buffalo and was one of the best defensive forwards in the league. Larkin is a little better but so are the quality of the picks.

Would pay a lot to have Strome, Larkin, PLD, and Dowd as the Caps centers for the foreseeable future.

Is Detroit trying to rebuild again? Can’t imagine Steve Y or the fans have the patience for that. As it is, even with Larkin, hard to see how they finish better than 6th or 7th in the Atlantic next season.

To me that's Detroit big issue. The Atlantic is becoming more competitive, I don't see how they beat out other teams for a playoff spot and I also don't see them wanting to rebuild.

 

[FissionFire]

Any Larkin trade probably needs either a young NHL center or NHL-ready one coming back. Detroit is woefully thin at that position and rolling with Kasper or Compher as your 1C isn’t a recipe for success.
