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.
ESPN analyst John Buccigross has claimed the Detroit Red Wings will be making a major trade within the next week or so. During a recent Frankly Hockey podcast, Buccigross stated, "I think there's going to be a trade within seven to 10 days in Detroit." He confirmed this would be concerning star forward Dylan Larkin, whose trade request was made public earlier this year.
The Red Wings parted ways with GM Steve Yzerman in September, and general manager Shawn Horcoff has no plans to start a rebuild. While Larkin's $8.7 million average annual value for the next four-plus seasons is considered valuable, the team could leverage him in a trade. However, NHL analysts believe his contract makes him a key trade component.
Meanwhile, fifth-year defenseman Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned, with Horcoff expressing no interest in trading him. Buccigross believes Edvinsson could be signed for a $10 million AAV, emphasizing his strong start in his career.
