Pro Hockey Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman has expanded Dylan Larkin’s original three-team trade list beyond the Minnesota Wild, Vegas Golden Knights, and Florida Panthers, following discussions with agent Pat Brisson.
- Other NHL teams, including the Dallas Stars, have shown interest in Larkin, adding complexity to trade negotiations as the Stars have yet to extend restricted free agent Jason Robertson.
- A potential three-team trade scenario is being considered, particularly involving Minnesota, which may lack the assets Detroit desires in a direct deal.
- Larkin, the 29-year-old Red Wings captain, recently scored 34 goals and 67 points in 74 games, maintaining a strong performance streak with a $8.7 million cap hit over the next five years, making him a valuable yet challenging trade asset.
- The trade market for Larkin remains fluid, with ongoing discussions and fan input being solicited on his potential destination.
