If not Minnesota, Vegas has been the second-most mentioned team for Larkin. The Knights would have to trade some players to the Red Wings, but they could pounce on the opportunity with the Wild unable to close the deal.”Sportsnaut’s Austin Konenski added, “Meanwhile, the Dallas Stars are another ideal landing spot. Dallas is one of the NHL’s best organizations, and with Jason Robertson‘s future in doubt, Larkin would be a great addition. Could Yzerman pull off Larkin for Robertson? For now, that might be the most appealing option outside of Minnesota’s Matt Boldy.”Contract details and salary cap implicationsFor the Detroit Red Wings, trading Dylan Larkin clears off his $8.7 million salary off the team’s books as the team faces zero dead cap.How will the trade affect the teams?For the Vegas Golden Knights, trading for Dylan Larkin remains a bit expensive even though he could be an impactful addition to the team.For the Dallas stars, Dylan Larkin remains expensive but he could make an elite duo alongside Roope Hintz, making the team an instant Stanley Cup favorite.At this point in time, no confirmations have been made about Dylan Larkin’s trade from the Detroit Red Wings yet as the team remains silent after stating that there are “no guarantees”.
