Speculation: Larkin trade return

[SirKillalot]

Trade Wallstedt + Yurov for Lundell

Trade Cossa + Stramel for Trevor Connelly

Package looks like: Lundell + Connelly + 1st + Bobby Brink

Don't seem likely that Florida trades Lundell, after the Brady trade doubt they have the cap space to do so regardless.

It feels like every offseason and free agency period.. we as fans get to sit by and watch other teams do exciting things. I miss the days when we just signed hall of famers like they grew on trees.

I didn't know there were beers that required a black light!

I would rather my cat piss outside the box than spill an Anheiser Busch beer on my carpet.

If they moved Lundell for Larkin, Larkin would fit in under their cap. They would only take on about 3 million in that case and they have over 7 million right now. They would struggle to sign a goalie in that case but they have other guys that are trade able to make space if the 4 mill or so isn't enough.

They could take on Larkin and Cossa and still have room if they only traded Lundell. Someone like Luostorainen or Rodrigues would give them even more to sign a guy to play with Cossa.

But I do agree it doesn't seem super likely he's going to Florida now

I actually don't drink IPAs, but using it as a premise has touched off a good side convo in an increasingly angsty thread. I don't have a cat anymore either, but any fictitious material can be in play for comic relief.

The vibes in December while we were in the Hughes hunt to now has to be one of the biggest shifts ever. It's a big bummer.

Had it been Minnesota it probably would've happened already.

Also what's Minny gonna do? That offer will still be the offer in a week,a month, November.

I'm enjoying the crack theories when Redwings are just staying quiet. Can't wait for Larkins bitch ass to be outta here but have no problem keeping him until someone actually pays up.

They could pivot to Trocheck, and apparently had a "big offer" for Tkachuk.

Trocheck is 33 so cool. They push the problem down 1 season.

Brady isn't a center.

We can just hold this piss stain cuz his leverage is not really leverage. What's this softie gonna do? Bully who someone in the locker room? He's a giant wimp. He won't do shit.

Probably not, but they need a goalie. Cam Talbot should be available, I guess.

This trade needs be done before free agency starts.

Chris Osgood said in a podcast that it most likely won't be. He said it will be largely talked about leading up to the draft and on draft day, but he doesn't think a trade will happen until closer to training camp to start of the season.

Why?

This meme was appropriated from one that was dragging pumpkin beers, which is way more apt lol.

I'm not an IPA drinker either, I made almost exclusively lagers professionally for over a decade. But I will always show respect to Two-Hearted as an OG IPA that was ground-breaking at the time and still holds up today. It's probably the only IPA I will reach for if it's on tap at a bar. It's as legit as an IPA can be. So why don't you take your little piss jokes, and shove em straight up your barrel-aged bunghole!

It's funny cause anyone close with the Wings, or even just the fans suggest this will be the case. But the outside insiders just say it has to be done before the season starts! What are you gonna do sit him?

Yes...

Pfft... You're just an IPA carboi.

Could Detroit trade him to Ottawa

Larkin's camp would love that.

Everyone says Yzerman needs to trade him before the season starts, yes.

But they also say Yzerman "won't be bullied", "has his price set", and "will be patient until Larkin opens his list and he gets the offer he is asking for". One insider said "in a game of chicken, Yzerman won't flinch".

Basically Larkin will cave and open his trade list and Yzerman is fine allowing things to get uncomfortable for Larkin until he does.

Hence, why Yzerman is in no rush to trade Larkin.
