And the Lightning might have what the Red Wings are seeking in NHL-ready players/prospects. There's also the built-in relationship between Yzerman and his successor in Tampa, Julien BriseBois. The best chip here is probably J.J. Moser, a 26-year-old, 6'2, left-shot defenseman who played top-pair minutes for Tampa last season in the absence of Victor Hedman.”Will Burchfield of The 97.1 FM Ticket added, “The Devils are a better team than last year's record would indicate when they were missing Jack Hughes for a good chunk of the season. And Hughes is exactly why we're here: If Larkin wants to join forces with his USA friends, could the idea of teaming up with Jack, Luke and potentially Quinn lure him to New Jersey?”Will Burchfield of The 97.1 FM Ticket continued, “The last time they had a fully healthy Jack Hughes, the Devils reached the second round of the playoffs. This likely only works for the Red Wings if Nico Hischier is coming back. And that's probably a non-starter for the Devils, who have reportedly agreed to a five-year, $58.8 million extension with Hischier that will kick in for the 2027-28 season. But, again, Yzerman would be right to make the ask.”Contract details and salary cap implicationsFor the Detroit Red Wings, trading Dylan Larkin is financially better since the team would face no dead cap penalties and would instantly clear off a whopping $8. 7million salary from the team’s books.How will the trade affect the teams?For the New Jersey Devils, trading for Dylan Larkin is a bit expensive but he would give them an elite forward to pair perfectly with superstar Jack Hughes.For the Tampa Bay Lightning, trading for Dylan Larkin seems difficult financially unless the team makes major changes in contract.
