A report indicates that the asking price for Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is testing the patience of the Minnesota Wild in potential trade discussions. The 28-year-old center, who has spent his entire NHL career with Detroit, has been the subject of trade speculation as the Red Wings navigate their roster direction.
According to the report by Glenn Kaplan, Minnesota's interest in acquiring the two-time All-Star has been met with a valuation from Detroit that the Wild find challenging. Larkin, who carries a $8.7 million cap hit through the 2028-29 season, recorded 69 points in 68 games last season.
The Wild, currently seeking to bolster their center depth, have reportedly engaged in preliminary conversations but remain reluctant to meet Detroit's demands, which are said to include a significant package of prospects and draft capital.
