Speculation: Larkin trade return

  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
  • Xenforo Cloud is upgrading us to version 2.3.11 on Monday July 20, 2026 at 12:00 AM PST. Expect a temporary downtime during this process. More info here
  • Due to the increased volume of league transactions, the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk section is temporarily restricted to where threads may only be started by moderators and sponsors. We anticipate that this restriction will be lifted some time after the first round of the draft.
yay jj mosier … geekie and late picks lmao I hope they make werenski wait the full 24 months or least trade him at the trade deadline 2 yrs from now. f*** these clowns

Massive blow losing out on a Harley for them

 
I think Larkin is just a dumb person. This reads like awe gee shucks I’d sure like to play on a stacked team and challenge for cups but I don’t want to leave Detroit for just any city. Dallas is a great situation for him if he doesn’t want to go there I don’t think he hates Detroit as much as we think. If he comes back and plays for us it’s just another piece of evidence this guy is kind of a knob

Man I just randomly woke up at 2 am and feel f***ing gross. I'm not sure if it's the heatwave,the pizza I ate or the fact that it's becoming clear that even when great players become available we have zero shot at them anymore. I don't know how anyone thinks this team is ever going to realistically compete again without tear it back down and trying to luck into home grown elite talent that wants to be here. f*** I hate what's become of this organization.

we can't trust all of the reporting about it as a lot is likely just rumor and hearsay.

If he's not dealt because he won't open up the list, he'll just be back here in the fall.
Highest price to sell would be nearer the trade deadline.

Matt Duchene all the way.

I straight up hope they make Larkins life unbelievably miserable if he doesn’t budge on teams. Strip him of the C and just let the fans tear him apart. I get yzerman has sucked in a lot of ways as a GM but for Larkin to hold the fanbase that has supported you your whole career hostage is unbelievably pathetic. I want local media to crush him, and I don’t want any players coming to his aid during games. I would be fine with players giving him hell in training camp but I doubt that will happen.

Unfortunately nothing like that happens.

Media does nothing. Their are at Ilitches leash and positive newsfeed is gonna sell season tickets again. All Larkin saga is gonna kept behind.

Fans will probably boo, but that's it. At least they have bought the tickets for that right.

I personally dont have an issue with the full nmc/ntc. If gms want to hand them out, they know the risk.

On the reverse side, if the player wants to flex it that much and only give out a couple team list, we'll get ready to show up to camp bub
I think the biggest issue is, until recently, NMCs and NTCs were for the player's protection from a team-initiated trade. Players using it to demand out and pick a small number of teams that have nothing to offer the player's current team is some pretty epic douchebaggery, and I think that's why there are people who'd like to see a rule change.

I still like NMCs/NTCs for a player's protection. I think something will eventually be done to curb the weaponization of such benefits if they continue to be weaponized..

McLellan has stripped a captain of the C in his past. I can see him doing that once more, and he should, though not to make Larkin's life miserable. McLellan should do it to ensure the team has a leader who hasn't expressed their desire to quit.

Outside that, the only folks who will make Larkin's life miserable are the fans booing him.

Dylan Larkin: Steve Yzerman would rather make no trade than what he thinks is a bad trade.
Jason Robertson: Wants Dallas to budge. Don’t see it now. My guess is they go to arbitration. Unless Yzerman decides he’s the best option for Larkin.
 
Video of Dreger saying Larkin not willing to expand list.
I might be wrong but that video to me kinda seems like he might have a 6-7 team list like had been said got expanded to shortly after the news broke.
I'll say it again... all these USA guys are cringe

wahhhhh we both want to go to Tampa to play together wahhhhhh
Its actually really pathetic. I dont care if it pisses some posters off in here but I hope Larkin is traded for a Canadian/Swede/Fin. These USA guys want to be like Lebron and force their way to championships instead of earning them. Truly embarrassing

Yeah if he actually is kind of okay with staying in Detroit if he doesnt go to a couple of cities only, then he just ruined all kinds of good will for no reason. Absolute moron

This also came in my mind. Dallas has been since the start and rumours also were that Larkin would not mind a trade to Dallas.

We don't know if Utah is there, but Utah doesn't have to be there, if they still are the 3rd team with extra assets (for a Robertson 3-way-scenario). They have the best extra assets.

Like:

Larkin --> Dallas (he is ok to go there)
Robertson --> Utah
Utah pieces --> Detroit

And something else to even that out.

Still feels like a best scenario, if this is ok for Robertson to extend. Utah already did trade LW Peterka out from his way... it seemed like a preparing deal...

Yeah that sportsnet article saying Larkin could end up in Dallas for Robertson makes me think Dallas is still on Larkins list

Kind of hope we land werenski and at the same time tell Dylan he’s been traded lmao would piss him off… yes I know won’t happen

I don’t get these players anymore they don’t want to win cups they just want to be with theyre pals … Toronto? Werenski ‘s not going to Toronto to win lol
 
This offseasons blows, we were suppose to be hunting for a 2C and revamping our bottom six. Not wondering if we are gonna rebuild or not.

Now we got two Kachunks in Florida, Werenski in either Tampa/Toronto, and some of the other Atlantic teams have also gotten better



These are for you Dylan.

Hahaha yes … bring him back for two years of boo’s and the fingers before trading him

I want to watch a game and see Raymond take off his gloves at the bench turn to Dylan and give him the finger lmao

Make him suffer. Enough of this player demanding to be traded to one or 2 teams bs … wait it out 2 years. Get his 10 team no trade list and then trade him to the worst team of the 21 teams remaining
