Wild Stuck Waiting for Larkin Trade

The Minnesota Wild’s offseason is frozen in place until Detroit GM Steve Yzerman makes a move on Dylan Larkin—because without that trade, Wild president Bill Guerin can’t afford to spend big on free agents. Meanwhile, owner Craig Leipold’s locked in on extending Quinn Hughes, which fans will love. But here’s the catch: Minnesota may not have what Detroit wants for Larkin, who’s got a no-trade clause and could be picky. Guerin’s still in daily talks, exploring third-team deals to make it work—but there’s real risk: waiting too long could cost them key players like Mats Zuccarello hitting free agency. This is high-stakes chess, and the Wild need a plan B if Larkin doesn’t come home. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
