It's June 11th, I'm Corey with the story. This is New York Rangers News Today, driven by AI and built for fans. So Dylan Larkin, the main man for the Detroit Red Wings, reportedly put in a trade request, and he's got a specific list of three teams he's willing, to go to Minnesota, Vegas and Florida. This isn't just a simple transaction, it's shaking things up for Detroit's offseason plans.
They're not just looking to replace him, but they also need to find a new second line center, a top left wing and shore up their checking lines. The big question is whether those three teams even have the assets Detroit wants. This whole Larkin situation is also casting a shadow over other centers on the trade block, especially Vincent Trocheck from the New York Rangers. Trocheck, who's turning 33 next month, has been a constant name in trade rumors for a while. He's got three years left on his deal with a pretty reasonable salary cap hit, and he'd prefer to stay on the East Coast. He's got a no-trade clause, but it actually gets a little more flexible next month. The Rangers were expected to move Trocheck before the trade deadline, but their general manager decided to wait for better offers in the offseason. Now, with Larkin on the market, Trocheck isn't the top center available anymore, but he could still be a valuable pickup for teams that miss out on Larkin. As long as Larkin keeps his list short, it shouldn't hurt Trocheck's value too much. Considering Trocheck wants to stay east, Vegas probably wasn't high on his list. Minnesota might have been interested, but they could also be too far for him.
Florida seems like a better fit geographically, but they're already stacked at center and probably won't pursue either, Larkin or Trocheck. And it's not just Larkin potentially on the move. There's also buzz that Red Wings goalie, Sebastian Cossa could be traded with the Utah team mentioned as a possible destination.
Cossa was a high draft pick and seen as the future in net for Detroit, but they've got a lot of young goalie talent coming up, so he might be expendable.
