It's June 9th, New York Rangers News Today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff.
So Dylan Larkin, the captain of the Detroit Red Wings, dropped a pretty tight no trade list, only naming Vegas, Minnesota, and Florida as potential destinations.
This puts Detroit in a tough spot because if they move him, they might not get the center they really need, and Larkin's limited list means they can't. Just ship him anywhere. The Red Wings were actually eyeing Vincent Trocheck from the Rangers before the trade deadline. Now, if Detroit trades Larkin, they might pivot back to Trocheck and the Rangers could be looking at a package that includes a young player like Marco Kasper or Nate Danielson plus a draft pick. Kasper's had a bit of a dip in production this past season, but his faceoff game improved. Danielson is still developing, having just played his first NHL season and dealing with injuries, though he showed promise in the AHO. Another piece that could be involved is JT. Compher. He'd bring some veteran experience at center for the Rangers, filling a gap for the next couple of seasons, even if he doesn't match Trochecks. Offensive output. Ultimately, for the Rangers, the goal would be to snag a promising young player like Kasper or Danielson and hope they blossom into stars while also trying to spark a bidding war to get the best possible return for Trocheck.
