Rumor
Yakov Trenin · Minnesota WildDavid Pagnotta (The Fourth Period, Nov. 1) reports the Wild have been shopping Yakov Trenin since last season while they look for a top two center. The salary cap could make him a casualty. Worth watching if a new role opens up for him somewhere else.
“a casualty of the salary cap”

Carolina HurricanesDarren Dreger (Early Trading, Nov. 3) reports Wings AGM Kris Draper was in Boston for the Bruins game. Boston would like to get on Larkin's list, but for now that list stays the same.
“his list remains status quo”
David Pagnotta (Off The Roster, Nov. 2) thinks Detroit is trying to beat Minnesota's offer for Dylan Larkin. The Wings feel they can get a better package from a team that isn't on Larkin's list. This one could drag on a bit longer.
“get a better package”
Frank Seravalli (Oilers Now) says other teams would like a crack at Dylan Larkin, like Buffalo, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Montreal, even though they aren't on his preferred list. The market could be wider than it looks.
“would like a crack at him”
Pierre LeBrun (The Athletic, Oct. 29) says the Panthers, already loaded down the middle, have never really been in on Dylan Larkin. Florida was one of the first 3 teams Larkin gave Detroit back in June. That's one less landing spot to watch.
“haven't ever really been in this”
Chris Johnston (Chris Johnston Show, Nov. 2) asked people around the league how many of the 10 teams on Dylan Larkin's list are truly trying to land him. Answers vary, but he thinks it's 4 or 5. Larkin has 6 points in 10 games.
“it could be 4 or 5”
Pierre LeBrun (The Athletic, Oct. 29) reports Minnesota remains very interested in Dylan Larkin. Detroit's issue is the lack of NHL ready talent in those offers. Larkin has 6 points in 10 games.
“remain very interested”
Pierre LeBrun (The Athletic, Oct. 29) says to always keep an eye on the Canes when it comes to Dylan Larkin. He believes Carolina has kicked it around internally. Larkin has 6 points in 10 games.
“Always keep an eye on the Canes”
Anthony Di Marco (Daily Faceoff, Oct. 30) quotes an assistant GM who says Danila Yurov and prospect Charlie Stramel won't get Minnesota Dylan Larkin. The Wild would likely have to add a lot more. Yurov has 6 points in 16 games.
“may not move the needle”
Elliotte Friedman (32 Thoughts, Nov. 2) says someone told him they could see a Dylan Larkin for Nikita Kucherov deal from a pure hockey point of view. It's an idea floating around, not a reported negotiation.
“from a pure hockey point of view”
Anthony Di Marco (Daily Faceoff, Oct. 30) reports the Flyers would be willing to act as a third party broker between Minnesota and Detroit on Dylan Larkin, and would even take on Yakov Trenin's contract for the right price. One more way this deal could come together.
“third-party broker”
Darren Dreger (Hockey Sense, Oct. 30) says a Detroit source told him Vegas hadn't been involved so far in the Dylan Larkin talks. One less team to watch in this saga.
“Vegas wasn't involved to this point”
David Pagnotta (Hello Hockey, Oct. 31) says Washington doesn't want to move the Protas brothers in any Dylan Larkin deal. Aliaksei and Ilya Protas each have 5 points in 13 games this season.
“doesn't wanna trade the Protas brothers”
Darren Dreger (Hockey Sense, Oct. 30) says all indications are that Buffalo is a no-go for Dylan Larkin. NHL Rumour Report adds the Sabres have shown interest anyway, even though they're not on his latest 10 team list.
“Buffalo is a no-go”
Elliotte Friedman (NHL Now, Oct. 30) gets the impression Minnesota thinks it has a great offer on the table for Dylan Larkin: Danila Yurov, another player and, he thinks, 2 or 3 first round picks. So Montreal is far from alone in this race.
“Minnesota thinks they have a great offer”
David Pagnotta (The Sheet, Oct. 30) adds that Buffalo and Boston have poked around on Larkin, and LA did earlier, even though they aren't on his list. So the interest goes well beyond the Canadiens.
“Buffalo has poked around, Boston has poked around”
Pierre LeBrun (The Athletic, Oct. 31) notes the Lightning had talked to Detroit about Larkin before the Kucherov news broke. He wonders if the two teams could help each other, maybe with a third team involved. It's an idea worth watching, not a confirmed negotiation.
“the Lightning had talked to Detroit about Dylan Larkin”
Elliotte Friedman (32 Thoughts, Oct. 29) says Red Wings assistant GM Kris Draper was in Washington on Wednesday. The Caps are on Larkin's list, which lines up with LeBrun's report about Washington's interest and young Ilya Protas.
“I'm sure he's looking at one of the Protases there”
Elliotte Friedman (Saturday Headlines, Oct. 31) has a hard time seeing Larkin land in Florida, Vegas or even Colorado, even with those teams on his list. He thinks Larkin could take some teams off his list or even add a few.
“may take some teams off or possibly even add some”
Chris Johnston (Nielson Show, Oct. 30) says about 5 of the 10 teams on Dylan Larkin's list aren't even trying to trade for him. That makes the real market thinner than it looks, so poolers waiting on a fresh start for Larkin may need some patience.
“about 5 teams on that 10 team list”
