AROUND THE LEAGUE - 25-26

[Carl Yagro]

I'm with you on that one, Cousin.

29yo, consistent producer, speed to burn.

But if he wants out of Detroit, likely for lack of ever playing in the postseason... well, this ain't the town for him either. No way he waives for this shite-show to continue wasting his prime.

At least this would ensure Q. Hughes can never go home again.

Larkin’s announcement opens up a potential Petey destination. Desperate GM who must win now and probably had nothing left to lose. Willing to overlook long term consequences for potential short term payoff. Because he’s not going to be around for the consequences unless it works.

But I want nothing to do with Larkin. Not because Larkin isn’t a good player, but because he doesn’t increase the chance the Canucks find a core player for the future.

No reason Stevie Y need to offload his problem and find his solution in the same transaction. Unless it’s a 3 way trade.

Downside of this announcement is that it adds an available center into the mix for teams that might be looking at Pettersson.

I recall throwing Larkin Seider for Hughes with nips and tucks @ Nuckertuzzi a year or so back...

What might have been.

[Aaronp18]

Don’t mind the 3 way trade option.

DET: EP40

LA: Larkin

VAN: 2027 1st from LA, prospect

[donlever]

That's not bad.

[Lancer]

That might be the best-case scenario for all involved.

Dylan Larkin has requested a trade out of Detroit. He holds a NMC.

They can have Pouts straight across for him

Full NMC. Wants out partly because the team can't make the playoffs.....also because he has a poor relationship with Yzerman.

I feel like he would never agree to come to Vancouver right now.....and also, do we want a guy who wants out because his team can't win?

[donlever]

He'd look good as a Hab.
