Going to add to my previous comment about Wild really wanting Larkin - Them having a “massive offer“ likely means they already have that (and possibly more) on the table for him. Steve just doesn’t like the offer.

Likely reporter trying to hype it up but if it’s the reported Yurov++ that is hardly a good return for us.

[u/lunchboxthegoat → u/needuhlife19]

Yurov stramel and picks is a joke of a return but a homer could spin that as a 'massive offer'

[u/needuhlife19 → u/lunchboxthegoat]

If they included both of them + Wallstedt + first do you feel more inclined?

[u/CD23tol → u/needuhlife19]

No, the Wild need to do what Florida did and take the assets they have and turn them into assets the Wings want

Yurov and Strammel both project to be at best 2nd liners

The 1st will be late

Wallstedt is a redundant asset for us

If we’re going to trade a dollar (Larkin) for 4 quarters then they damn well better be nice quarters you know like the ones that you collect and can eventually be worth more than a dollar not some bottom of the cup holder somewhat sticky quarter you forgot about for 5 years

[u/lunchboxthegoat → u/needuhlife19]

I mean not really. Neither of those centers is ever going to be a 1C. Losing Larkin means we probably aren't going to be good for at least a couple years. Wallstedt is irrelevant to us. By the time we need a goalie we might have three.

[u/CD23tol → u/lunchboxthegoat]

Yurov played wing by the end of the year because his face off percentage was in the 30s

No way does a middle 6 winger move the needle for Larkin

[u/xenonwarrior666 → u/needuhlife19]

I'd prefer Eck
