Insider Drops BOMBSHELL New Larkin Trade Report...

An NHL insider has just dropped a bombshell new Dylan Larkin trade report as multiple new insiders have revealed that all signs are pointing to Dylan Larkin accepting a trade, surprisingly, to a team that is not on his 10-team no-trade list. We're going to break down exactly who that team is, what it would take to get Dylan Larkin to be traded to that team, and does Dylan Larkin even want to be traded? a lot of people are talking about we're going to break that all down in this episode of Red Wings Digest and much more guys but before we get into all of that a quick reminder to hit that subscribe button we've noticed that a large percentage of you guys who watch these videos are not subscribed to the channel so if you want to stay up to date with everything that's happening with the Red Wings make sure to go down below hit that free subscribe button and Mark and I will keep you updated with everything that's happening every single day on the Red Wings and of course they play tonight against the Edmonton Oilers we'll get into that but Elliot Friedman dropped a brand new trade report on Dylan Larkin and he outlines and I think this is very interesting because it plays into what Chris Johnson said last week and things are starting to turn and it could be some negotiations from the Montreal Canadiens point of view through the media but Friedman went on to say Montreal is not on his list of 10 teams that we covered last week obviously expanded the list and here's my theory it almost has to be reverse engineered so Friedman goes on to say and Mark I'm very curious for your thoughts on this too Montreal is actually going to if for this to work Montreal would have to call Detroit and again this is just him speculating um because Larkin's not saying I want to directly go to that team it's not a team that I have on the list that you can go call so Montreal would have to call Detroit and say this is what we want to do we want Larkin this is who we trade for him and then Detroit would have to go to Larkin and say would you waive to go to Montreal we have a trade on the table so mark what do you make of that new report because i think it actually makes a lot of sense where if you bring a tabled trade to dylan larkin and say it's to montreal you have a great opportunity to win maybe there's a crack in the door from a couple weeks ago with all the cheers and chants of we want larkin in montreal i mean montreal's in on a lot of players they're a team that wants to get competitive they are competitive And they want to move out prospects and picks to add players like Dylan Larkin to the organization. And like you said, that is a fan base that was doing a lot of work for them when they were cheering. They were loud. They showed the energy in that building. Dylan Larkin is a guy that obviously wants to win. He got a taste of winning when they went to the Olympics. And now a guy that wants to find that new chapter. And teams with Montreal, a team that just came out of a rebuild recently. They're a competitive team. They have the pieces. they don't need to shell out players on their main roster of course Detroit is going to ask for impact players coming back they're going to get the top dollar for Dylan Larkin but with the way people are talking with Montreal I think it's a matter of time before Ken Hughes calls over and speaks to of course our interim general manager maybe he has to speak directly to the owner at this point but at the end of it Montreal is interesting and I genuinely think there's going to be a lot picking up especially the farther you go into the season the farther Montreal climbs in the standings and i guess it really comes down to if dylan larkin truly just wants to win or if this is a ploy because he wants to go play with his buddies in florida yeah i do wonder about that too because there's a couple teams on the list that like if you're the player you have to know that the Florida Panthers can't trade for you right like it literally would not work with your salary and the Red Wings are not retaining salary for that many years that wouldn't make any sense now why i think it's very interesting and i outlined it a little bit ago a few minutes ago this report from Chris Johnson last week has me thinking now with this new report from Elliot Friedman that maybe he could end up somewhere that's not on his team 10 team trade list right maybe he can end up in Montreal because Montreal goes we really want Dylan Larkin and the sentiment by the way from the Red Wings point of view the last little while is they're telling teams how badly do you want Larkin because it doesn't really feel like you want him that badly with some of these trade returns right so if Montreal were to be like you know what yes we want Dylan Larkin now Nick Suzuki's out with that injury as well he's missing some time we need a center anyway okay let's put a trade together take it to Dylan see what he says and i feel like the door could be creaked open just a little bit on that and again his contract there would have to be some uh you know finagling going on in terms of you know moving money around from the Montreal Canadiens point of view too they do still have like quite a bit of cap space to to bring on that 8.7 they would only have to move you know four or five million dollars out on contracts something like that and that wouldn't be a huge deal because you know the Red Wings are looking for a roster player anyway in a trade so they're looking for that and then they're looking for young centers which is something that you know we can kind of dive into now because Elliot Friedman and other insiders have reported that the Red Wings in a trade return for Dylan Larkin are looking for younger centers that also takes you to Minnesota and Daniel Girava as well but you can see from Elliot Friedman I think the line has moved for two reasons number one the great reaction from the Montreal fans a couple weeks ago and number two because i think Larkin is honestly trying with the way that he's expanding his list to get this to happen to get a trade facilitated as soon as possible so that is the interesting thing Montreal i talked about this couple weeks ago and some people called me crazy Mark i don't know if you feel any differently Montreal is the perfect trade partner they need a center exactly like Dylan Larkin exactly his age to bring experience to bring you know the skill set that he brings into their core group right now to try and win and Montreal has the as the exact assets that the Detroit Red Wings are looking for in a trade like this the funny thing is looking at Montreal a young team they have more playoff experience than Dylan Larkin does but looking at that of course bringing in a guy that's pushing into his 30s a guy that's of course going to join a team and be that perfect two CBs high Nick Suzuki there's no way in hell that Montreal and their front office are not sitting there saying hey it's a matter of that list expands or maybe that's a phone call you get on calls with his agent you maybe speak to Dylan Larkin you try to sell him a selling point and I genuinely think teams are going to start doing that as you get farther in the season people are dealing with injuries Nick Suzuki for example with the Montreal Canadiens can they go a long stretch of games without him or is there a panic mode now with Kent Hughes going out to say hey we got to give Detroit a call Sean Horkoff please do whatever it takes to get us put on the list put up to 11 team lists but this is now going to get interesting because with Dylan Larkin expanding the list it was a very small list now New Jersey I think is hell of a team right now and interesting with Connor Hellebuyck one of his best friends just being traded there Jack Hughes is there another good friend of Dylan Larkin so I think that team is going to pick up a little more if they're getting active but now looking at that Montreal is the pieces Detroit's trying to move out a former captain and I think Darius it's going to come down to the wire but it feels like a trade that needs to happen before Christmas and maybe Dylan Larkin feels like it has happened sooner and you bring up the New Jersey Devils I think that's pretty interesting now with Connor Hellebuyck as well and obviously uh Quinn Hughes possibly in the mix you got Jack Hughes and Luke Hughes over there as well and Chris Johnson went on to say that I haven't heard anything credible that they're very much in the mix for Dylan Larkin here but beyond obviously knowing it's a place he's open to going to and they are on his 10 team trade list right so that's pretty interesting and again Connor Hellebuyck just got traded there um they can move some pieces around they can make it work as well because they're looking to make some big moves right they're looking to to really shake up that team it hasn't been working for them the last couple years as well but uh mark let's move on and guys let us know how you feel about all of the new reports on Dylan Larkin in the comments below but very quickly before we wrap up here um big game against the Edmonton Oilers tonight the oilers are coming in uh still hot they lost at the Toronto Maple Leafs on um a Saturday but they're still coming in very hot Dylan Larkin has been anything but consistent so far this season I mean started started hot has been not great the rest of the way uh a lot of people are talking about trading Gibson uh if you take a look at the Atlantic Division uh not too bad I know that you know they're seventh but you're three points back basically of a uh playoff spot or four points back essentially of you know being right there and in the mix so everybody in the Atlantic Division is definitely still in the mix this season but mark do you have any final thoughts before this big game against the Edmonton Oilers who are uh eight two and one on the season so far and hold the league's best power play but one of the worst penalty kills with this it's a game that you want to go in you want to get a win streak going of course you lost your last game but like you outlined this is a team that's in the mix of course it doesn't look good being in seventh compared to first but nonetheless your team that's still pushing you have a lot of guys that are showing up a lot of young guys showing a lot of great potential and heading into Edmonton I think it's a great test for a team and a team in Edmonton that's going to be hungry to get back in the win column so this could genuinely spark I think a tiny bit of a run for Detroit and honestly I think this is a team call me crazy that can go out and prove a point tonight against the Oilers and a power play that needs to get going a penalty kill that's one of the worst in the league for the Red Wings although the penalty kill on the other side of the rink isn't that good either but the power play is going to be a real problem uh for the Red Wings tonight McDavid has an assist streak of eight games going on right now and he's been unbelievable on special teams as well so there's going to be a lot to handle if the Red Wings drop another game here especially after losing the Calgary that would be real tough to stomach but ultimately we'll see what happens but guys let us know in the comments how you feel about these new reports from Chris Johnson Elliot Friedman on Dylan Larkin do you see him going to Montreal i personally think that it's a perfect trade scenario if he's open to going there they need another center they have the assets that you want in a trade it could be a match made in heaven
