[LeBrun] On Larkin: Yzerman went back to Brisson and asked to expand their original list of three teams, and my sense is that Brisson was receptive to that to some degree. So I don’t think we’re just dealing with the Wild, Golden Knights and Panthers anymore.

Secondly, regardless of being on the list or not, all kinds of teams have called to see what’s what, many of them interested in getting involved. That’s given Brisson and Larkin more to think about. For example, the Dallas Stars have absolutely ch...

Secondly, regardless of being on the list or not, all kinds of teams have called to see what’s what, many of them interested in getting involved. That’s given Brisson and Larkin more to think about. For example, the Dallas Stars have absolutely checked in. They haven’t extended restricted free agent Jason Robertson yet, although those contract discussions continue. Food for thought if an extension doesn’t get done in due time. And third, in a potential scenario that might help thread the needle, a trade could involve a third team in a transaction to make the assets work for Detroit. That would especially apply to a team like the Wild, who, straight up, I don’t think have the parts to appease Detroit in a Larkin trade — or at least the parts that the Red Wings would want. Finding a way to get assets from a third team might be a viable scenario. submitted by /u/AggPuck-303 [link] [comments]
