ESPN's John Buccigross: Red Wings will trade Dylan Larkin this week
ESPN NHL analyst John Buccigross said Friday he thinks the Detroit Red Wings will trade center Dylan Larkin in the next seven to 10 days.
NHL analyst John Buccigross claims the Detroit Red Wings will trade star forward Dylan Larkin within the next seven to ten days. Larkin's trade request became public in June, and the Red Wings have parted ways with their longtime general manager. While the Red Wings are under no obligation to trade Larkin, his $8.7 million average annual value over the next four-plus seasons is seen as a valuable asset by many analysts.
Meanwhile, defenseman Simon Edvinsson remains a trade deadline target, with his future uncertain as he remains unsigned and a restricted free agent with his contract set to expire on December 1. NHL analysts argue that trading both Larkin and Edvinsson would be a more prudent move than extending DeBrincat's contract.
