9:25 Blockbuster Trade?
Gauthier is toxic, I'm just one Red Wings fan. Don't want him.
What happens when fans don't want to pay triple the price for single games? $ 50. Dollar beers lolš . The fans will be paying for the players contracts
That Larkin trade idea was actually first brought up on Puckpedia on Puck GM by yours truly
Itās not gonna happen PV maybe lazy but heās not that stupid. Iām hopeful a deal will get done cutter is one of the core pieces of the Ducks. The last thing we wonāt is to go into rebuild again.
Cutter is actually a natural center
If Quinn gets traded why would Larkin want to go to Minnesota?
What team is going to want to give Gauthier 18M?
I hate this trade proposal for Detroit. Cutter is a Me First dude, what if he arrives in Detroit and wants no part in a team that hasn't been in the playoffs in a decade? Also, giving up one of their 2 young D is ridiculous. Most importantly, what good is having a young winger if you have NOTHING down the middle? Makes no sense.
The Red Wings #2 center Copp had a āgreat yearā last year with an astounding 9 goals š¤š». Yeah we need a top left wing but we have absolutely zero top center depth. Hence why the report was we wanted a center in return.
Pure speculation, as usual.
Ducks should try and trade either Killorn or Kreider, offer Cutter $15M, if he refuses, trade him
Gauthier is a really good young player, but other GMs beware at this point. Heās already forced a trade before playing a single game for Philly, now holding Anaheim hostage. If Anaheim must dump three guys just to keep him, I could see him being unpopular with his teammates. Wings might covet the talent, but could be culture cancer.
š«¶š«¶š«¶š«¶ Winnipeg should Not Drag Trade Talk About Connor Hellubuck into the Regular It Would Be A Distraction to The Team Great Show Top Shelf Hockey š«¶š«¶š«¶š«¶
Brady Tkachuk is a gutless coward for wanting out of Ottawa, but Larkin giving up as captain of his hometown team and PUBLICLY demanding a trade with 5 years left! What a total turncoat. Neither should be able to choose their destination by having a NMC and demanding a trade. Next CBA should have a clause that forcing a trade should void your NMC or at least force players to submit a 10 team trade list
Illitch wouldn't pay Robertson so why would he pay Gauthier even more? That trade isn't happening. Larkin can either sit or play and honor the contract he signed.
Yeah letās trade one diva for another more expensive one! Yay, great idea. And send some good prospects along too. On another hand, Chris Ilitchās ego is big enough to pull it off to avoid the PR nightmare. And whoās gonna center the top line? Oh, I see why Steve is no longer the GM – heāll suite up as the C and the top line center. Perfect! Chris no longer looks ridiculous!
If I were New Jersey even though I think Larkin is overrated. I would trade for Larkin. Convince him to go To NJ and play with all 3 Hughe next season
Mike, Dubas has the assests to pull off a trade for Gauthier. You don't believe a package of say Rakell, a prospect, and a pick or Rakell and 2 prospects or Rakell, Braz, a prospect would do it or something close to that then I believe you don't understand how much the Pens truly have.
Why play 4d chess when Anaheim has 4 terrible contracts they could dump
To DET:
Gauthier, Yurov and Brodin
To Ana:
ASP, Stramel, Hartman and a 1st Minnesota
To Minnesota:
Larkin and DET 3rd
I want nothing to do with Gauthier. Heās already caused headaches for flyers and now ducks . Zero interest giving him 16-18 per for 40 goals when we have debrincat
Gauthier sounds as though he could be a bit of a cancer in the dressing room.
Or what about my Rangers good rivalry with the Flyers to begin with and Drury has done a bunch of business with Verbeek recently
I think the Red Wings and Columbus should make a trade Larkin for Marchenko. Columbus and Detroit are borderline in a similar situation. Larkin could play with Werenski, a fellow team USA guy. Larkin is locked up long term at based off these new contracts coming out is a steal. Marchenko needs a new contract, and it looks like it will be bigger than Larkins contract. Detroit has always been a Euro happy land, with the Russian five, Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Marchenko goes to a team with guys like Seider and Raymond. Columbus still has to sign Fantilli, so there isnāt gonna be enough money to give Marchenko the money he is gonna ask. So Larkin gets to play with Werenski and gives the center depth Columbus can only fantasize about. Detroit gets another prolific goal scorer expecting a significant pay raise.
Itās too late for Quinn Hughes in Minnesota. Guerin tried to get Luke Hughes, cause he knew what was gonna happen. If Guerin makes a trade for Larkin, he will have killed Minnesota.
Great Video, as usual, Mike
I'd still like to see Dylan Larkin on The Chicago Blackhawks or The Rangers.
Who would The Detroit Red Wings want from Minnesota, if this deal with The Wild is going to be made? That's the question. I'm not sure that A New GM will want some of the players that Minnesota is willing to give up. Please let me know what you think
Alexis Lafreniere for Cutter Gauthier or Dylan Larkin will be a feather in Chris Drury's Cap.
The GM Pat had every chance to sign them guys last season and didn't do it when they had the offer out there it is totally on the GM why the ducks are where they're at
No one knows how the new DRW GM will act, but Yzerman would never send Larkin to Minny. Yzer man knows that is where Larkin wants to go. And just for spite he would never trade Larkin to Minny. Let's hope the new GM will not let Larkin get his wish. Remove the C from his sweater, sit him in the press box until he expands his trade destinations. DRW fans will boo him relentlessly.
Hellyās wore out by playoffs
