Value of: Dylan Larkin

[FriendlyGhost92]

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.

... He also played on far better teams like the 13-14 Avs.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

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

The Wild are not trading Boldy. He’s too good of a young player to move.

I don't think the Wings have any interest in moving Kasper, either. What a weird trade idea.

 

[SuperScript29]

Larkin is not being traded unless the offer is too good to be true, which is unlikely to happen since Larkin is more valuable to the Wings than to other teams. Also trading him without filling his void would be very dumb, so unless you can find another center around the league with a similar value to swap I don't see the point.

If Larkin is traded, that means the Wings blundered another year and a huge shakeup is needed, and odds are the return would likely be a mixture of blue chipper prospects + high picks.

if Larkin is ever on the market KH would allin badly for him

 

[Canovin]

If Larkin was traded, it's part of the Yzerplan for McKenna

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Seems counterproductive for Wings to trade him. They need to take steps forward, not backwards.

Sure sounds like he wants out, to maybe accomplish something. Which means you're bound to get peanuts.

If Larkin were traded the only way it makes sense to me is if he demanded a trade and the wings elected to go forward for whatever reasons.

If this comes to pass, and given Larkin’s trade protection, you’d guess maybe Detroit can get a few teams with competing offers, but probably would be limited with how many teams would meet the criteria of having/making room for Larkin, being good enough that he would waive for the deal, and having some interesting assets for Detroit.

I’d have to guess Minnesota would be interested and maybe could offer Rossi. Blues, Avs, and Kings would probably be interested but struggle to find the ideal offer. I don’t think the kings should mess with Byfield, but maybe that’s a fit. That seems about it to me

None sense, he has a long term contract and he's under 30. Yzerman will just hold out until he has a decent value in return if a trade is to happen. Peanuts is wishful thinking.

Not really. But here you are.

 

[Hunter368]

If available (doubt it), Jets would be very interested

He needs to waive. My guess is very limited American markets and Toronto in terms of markets he would waive to. I doubt Minnesota and Columbus when parts of our fanbase throw it out. Think Dallas, Florida, Vegas, New York Rangers and LA in terms of what I would guess.

No doubt, tough being small market and Canadian teams……double tough when your both. lol

I'll defer to you as a Detroit fan on this, but speaking as a neutral American fan, literally nothing about Dylan Larkin has ever struck me as a guy who's only interested in big markets or warm places. In fact, he seems much more likely to not want that.

(Also... just saying... Columbus has his best friend plus other younger Wolverines, a guaranteed top six opening without the pressure of having to be 1C, and is a team on the rise. They'd get more consideration from him than you're giving credit here)

He is leaving his home market with all the cards… he can pick where he wants to go here.

I don't think that makes them a bottom three team.

 

[BronxBruin]

It wouldn't surprise me if the Bruins put the #5 pick on the table for Larkin. He seems like exactly what they need.

 

[M2Beezy]

I can see the Red Wings and Canucks making a deal that works for both teams. Addresses both teams needs and makes them better

To Vancouver: Larkin, 2025 3rd

To Detroit: Lekkermaki, Silovs, Bains, Kunz, 2026 4th, 2027 5th

starts with ep40 and larkin as the basis. and vancouver adds from there.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Dawson Mercer
Seamus Casey
1st round pick

????

 

[Patdud]

Tbh I think yzerman is fired before they trade Larkin

 

[eojsmada]

I believe he might have been saying that he would be a piece going the other way to obtain the 1OA pick in 26
