Dylan Larkin trade talks link Detroit Red Wings with Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is reportedly willing to waive his no‑trade clause, opening discussions with several NHL clubs. The Dallas Stars have been added to the short list of possible destinations after earlier focus on the Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild. Detroit is said to have asked for forward Wyatt Johnston in return, while Dallas is reportedly more interested in acquiring negotiation rights to former first‑round pick Jason Robertson.

Analysts also see Minnesota as a potential trade partner. One proposal suggests swapping Larkin for Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek, noting that both players deliver similar value in standings points above replacement. The trade would address Minnesota’s need for a power‑play bumper and give Detroit a high‑skill center, while the Wild would retain depth at forward and a defensive‑oriented center.

Both reports highlight the challenges each team faces in matching assets and salary‑cap considerations, indicating that any deal remains speculative at this stage.
