Larkin’s Trade List Shakes Center Market

**Corey** (0:00)
On June 8th, so, the Detroit Red Wings might be moving, Dylan Larkin, and this is a big deal for the trade market. He's a top tier center, and his decision is really narrowing down the options for teams looking for that kind of talent. It seems like he's only willing to go to three specific teams, which is a pretty tight list. Earlier this week, reports dropped that Larkin submitted a trade list to the Red Wings, and it only included the Florida Panthers, the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Minnesota Wild.
These are all strong teams, and it makes sense why he'd want to play for one of them, especially considering some of them have fellow Team USA. Players Now, this move by Larkin is actually a pretty good thing for the New York Rangers and their player Vincent Trocheck. Trocheck was also a hot commodity, but with Larkin on the market, he was looking like the top choice for many. By limiting his destinations, Larkin is essentially opening up the field for other teams who need a center but aren't on Larkin's shortlist. According to reports, if things don't work out with those initial three teams, there are a few other possibilities like the New York Islanders, Anaheim Ducks and Tampa Bay Lightning, but for now the focus is on those first three.
This situation is definitely making Trocheck a more realistic option for a lot of clubs. We'll have to wait and see how this all plays out between Larkin and the Red Wings management. It could be a bit of a back and forth, but either way it's shaking up the center market in a big way.
