Dylan Larkin Trade Saga Breakdown + Stanley Cup Final Game 4 Preview

But before we go ahead and briefly discuss Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, I want to go ahead and Get started with still discussing about this Dylan Larkin trade saga.

So we saw from yesterday that Dylan Larkin narrowed the three teams down that he would like to be traded to.

And those three teams were the Minnesota Wild, the Florida Panthers.

in the Vegas Golden Knights now as you guys don't know already Dylan Larkin shocked the hockey world shocked the Red Wings fans and said that he wanted out of Detroit he's done with Detroit And he's done with their playoff failures as they missed the playoffs for 10 straight seasons.

Longest playoff drought in NHL history.

Had a frosty relationship with Steve Yizeman.

Things were going well there.

So I kind of briefly talked about this already so I'm just skimming through what I talked about so far.

Taking a look at his contract deal, he's on an $8.7 million contract which he signed through the 2030-31 season.

He has a full no movement trade clause meaning that he decides where he goes.

He approves of the trade.

Detroit doesn't just randomly trade him.

He has to approve of the trade first.

Um, so yeah, but let's go ahead and discuss these three teams that he will like to be traded to.

So first off is the Minnesota wild, which as you guys don't know, I said in one of my, in the episode I discussed about their liking one out of Detroit, I said on and off air.

on the Hockey Talk TG podcast that a great fit for Dylan Larkin will be the Minnesota Wild.

I said that before he made the decision himself as one of the three teams that he would like to be traded to.

So I already mentioned that before that was put out.

And I've been saying the Minnesota Wild will be a great team for him to go to ever since he wanted out of Detroit, shockingly.

And The reason why I keep saying the Minnesota Wild is a good team for them to go to is because of the center depth.

They don't have a true top-line center.

And if you look at the lineups on daily face-off, if you look at their center group, it's all out of whack.

Their center group needs adjustment.

I'm trying to pull it up on my phone for you guys to see.

Their center depth...
