Speculation: Future Roster/Trade Discussion

[StrangeVision]

A 3-way with Minny for Wallstedt seems interesting.

Bro.

Quickly, say you have the Stars winning the next two cups.

I have Jim Nil winning the next two GM of the Year awards (at least)

This is what the Athetic mentioned as a potential package that we could give for Larkin. I still feel that we're better off packaging that 9th pick for a goalie rather than anotehr centre but if we are only one of three teams, maybe we give Samo rather than Lousty?

Florida Panthers​

• Detroit gets: No. 9 pick in 2026 draft, F Eetu Luostarinen, F Sandis Vilmanis
• Florida gets: F Larkin

Pronman: This would be the hardest reset for Detroit fans to stomach. Luostarinen is a good roster player who is very athletic and plays both ways. Vilmanis hasn’t made the league yet, but he was a top player at the World Championship and is tracking as a middle-six winger. The No. 9 pick could turn into a very good young center, such as Viggo Björck, but it would mean a lot more patience from Red Wings fans.

Bultman: The ninth pick would be an appealing headliner for those wanting the Red Wings to embrace a retool. Whether it’s Björck or one of the top five defensemen in the class, there should be a compelling talent available at that spot. Björck would be the one with a chance to help the center issue, though, and he did just play on a line with Lucas Raymond for Sweden at the World Championship.

Meanwhile, Luostarinen could help address some of the Red Wings’ issues in the bottom six in the short term, and with one year left on his deal, could even become a trade chip himself after what he’s done for the Panthers in the playoffs in recent years.

This package would require a longer view, and trading Larkin within the division could be fraught. But the ninth pick is a very compelling headliner.

No! Hell No!, and HELL NO!!!

Don’t see them moving Wallstedt now after his playoffs and possibly no Gustavsson to start

In the proposed Larkin package of 9th, Luo and Vilmanis, I really really don’t want to lose Vilmanis, I think he’s gonna be an absolute stud starting next season.

villainanus was a man possessed for latvia, full offseason in our lineup hes gonna be anti samo

 

[TheImpatientBoomer]

No to Larkin, 5 playoff games to his name.
Is he shifting to wing?
Can he play the system Maurice wants?
He's a known diver.

Using your best trade chip for something we dont need as much as goalie and defense.

Its a dumb move, Zito, dont ducking do it.

Yeah that's the final nail in the coffin for McDavid's career in Edmonton

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I HATE how people say everyone wants to play on low tax teams and not Canadian teams. It's because all of them except Montreal are totally incompetent. Like what the actual f*** is Edmonton doing lmao.

 

[Haj]

I don't think Larkin fits in our lineup. Its a waste of resources.

The goaltender market is barren. Maybe Bob takes Zito's offer?

Offersheet Jet Greaves?

 

[RogerRoger]

Might as well hold off on trading for Larkin since McD will ask out and request the same 3 teams.
