Wild on high alert as Dylan Larkin trade speculation heats up
Detroit has had top members of its front office and scouting department at three recent Wild games.
Wild fans, brace yourself as news suggests Dylan Larkin might be traded within the next two weeks. According to John Buccigross on the Frankly Hockey podcast, a trade could occur in the coming 7 to 10 days. Larkin has been the subject of trade speculation since he requested a trade in early June. Detroit has been closely monitoring the Wild, with several key members of their front office and scouting department attending Wild games in recent weeks.
Notably, interim GM Shawn Horcoff was present at both the Wild's losses to the Buffalo Sabres and Tampa Bay. Horcoff seems to be the frontrunner to become the full-time GM once the president of hockey ops takes over. If Larkin is traded for a steep price, including three or four players, a top-9 forward, and a first-round draft pick, the Wild's package could be a strong contender.
This move could potentially secure Quinn Hughes' extension, making the Wild an intriguing team to watch.
