Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic say Minnesota is willing to build a big package for Dylan Larkin, possibly a young center like Danila Yurov or Charlie Stramel, a forward like Ryan Hartman or Bobby Brink, and multiple firsts.
On 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman said he believes the reports that Buffalo tried to get in on Dylan Larkin. The catch, per NHL Rumour Report, is that the Sabres aren't among the 10 teams on Larkin's expanded list.
Anthony Di Marco (Daily Faceoff) writes that Minnesota badly wants Dylan Larkin, but wonders if the Wild have the assets. A third team may need to jump in to get a deal over the line.
Pierre LeBrun says some teams on Larkin's list haven't even engaged. Florida and Colorado haven't, it's just not a fit. He breaks down the whole list in his Rumblings for The Athletic. Fewer real landing spots for poolers to track.
Elliotte Friedman said Thursday morning nothing was close on a Larkin deal. Now we see if the suspension moves the needle. For your pool, patience. Larkin stays on the bench for now.
Red Wings interim GM Shawn Horcoff, quoted by Daily Faceoff, says his phone rang a lot on Thursday as he gets ready to trade Larkin.
Pierre LeBrun keeps coming back to Minnesota on Larkin. He says the Wild have been very aggressive and keep pushing.
Pierre LeBrun calls Carolina, New Jersey and Washington intriguing options, and says Montreal and Boston would love to get in. But Larkin's 10 team list hasn't changed, something TSN repeated on Insider Trading.
PuckPedia notes a player suspended without pay carries no cap charge. Detroit now projects about $24M in cap space, which keeps plenty of flexibility for a trade.
RDS is reporting it as well. The Red Wings have suspended Dylan Larkin without pay.
Elliotte Friedman confirms it too. The Red Wings have announced Dylan Larkin is suspended without pay.
Chris Johnston points out the suspension can really sting if a trade drags on. Larkin forfeits $41,237.11 for every day he's suspended.
