We now know all of the trade offers on the table for Dylan Larkin

The Dylan Larkin saga in Detroit has officially reached a boiling point, and the latest reporting from NHL insider Pierre LeBrun suggests the Detroit Red Wings have had plenty of opportunities to move their former captain.

In a new article for The Athletic published Thursday, LeBrun takes a closer look at the trade market surrounding Larkin, including the involvement of the 10 teams on his approved trade list and the offers that have reportedly been discussed with Detroit.

Perhaps the most eye-opening revelation involves the Minnesota Wild. According to LeBrun, no team has pursued Larkin more aggressively than Minnesota, with one of the Wild's reported offers involving an incredible three first-round draft picks.

That's an enormous amount of draft capital to put on the table for one player, particularly when considering that Detroit is still looking for immediate NHL-ready talent in return.

The situation has become even more complicated following Thursday's developments. Larkin is now refusing to play until the Red Wings complete a trade, leaving interim general manager Shawn Horcoff with an increasingly difficult situation to resolve.

And while 10 teams might technically be on Larkin's approved destination list, LeBrun's reporting suggests that not all 10 have been equally involved in negotiations.

There is also an important distinction between teams that have actually made offers and teams that simply have permission to negotiate with Larkin.

Here is a breakdown of the 10 approved destinations and what has been reported about their involvement, published by LeBrun for The Athletic today:

Minnesota Wild: The Wild remain very interested. They’ve made multiple offers. The issue for Detroit seems to be the lack of immediate NHL talent in those offers, which are more futures-based. But I think the offers have included multiple first-round picks as part of a package. It’s not nothing.

Carolina Hurricanes: Always keep an eye on the Canes. They love shiny new toys, and I do believe they’ve kicked this one around internally.

New Jersey Devils: Fresh off the Hellebuyck trade, I wouldn’t rule anything out with Devils GM Sunny Mehta. Having said that, don’t the Devils have to keep their powder dry for Quinn Hughes in case that actually becomes a realistic possibility?

Washington Capitals: My sense is the Caps have engaged to some level, but I can’t tell how hard they’ve pushed. Ilya Protas would be an obvious target for Detroit in any package.

Colorado Avalanche: I’m told the Avs have not engaged to this point. They’ve got a million centers, as is.

Florida Panthers: The Panthers are also loaded at center and haven’t ever really been in this as far as I can tell.

Tampa Bay Lightning: I truly have no idea with the secretive Lightning, and I’m not sure what they have to offer that would truly entice Detroit, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Lightning GM Julien BriseBois was taking a look at Larkin. Look at the way he zeroed in on Jake Guentzel once he decided he was a fit. Maybe a long shot, but I would never count out Tampa. The Bolts haven’t won a playoff series since losing in the 2022 Stanley Cup Final. I think they are eager to do all they can to rectify that.

Vegas Golden Knights: I don’t think the Golden Knights have been a player in this. It doesn’t fit a screaming need.

Utah Mammoth: The Mammoth have batted it around on some level, and they’ve got some assets and players that could get Detroit’s attention, but I’m not sure how motivated Utah truly is to go down this path. I wouldn’t rule them out, though.

Dallas Stars: I don’t believe that the Stars have been involved or feel they can be a player in this. They’ve got Jason Robertson and his future to figure out first.

I think the Canadiens can probably muster up the most attractive package, and it has not gone unnoticed that Red Wings assistant general manager Kris Draper has been at several of Montreal’s games in the last two weeks.

Still, unless Larkin opens up his list, the Habs aren’t a real option. For now.

What makes this situation particularly fascinating is that Detroit might have a much smaller pool of legitimate trade partners than Larkin's 10-team list would suggest.

Minnesota appears to be the most serious contender, while Washington and Utah are teams worth monitoring. Meanwhile, Florida and Colorado apparently haven't even picked up the phone.

And that brings us back to the biggest question facing Shawn Horcoff: How much longer can Detroit afford to wait?

Larkin has made his position abundantly clear. His agent, Pat Brisson, has publicly stated that his client has had enough, and the Red Wings have now suspended him without pay after he refused to continue playing until a trade is completed.

Detroit still has to protect its long-term interests and secure an appropriate return for a legitimate top-line center. But with the situation deteriorating by the day, Horcoff may soon have to decide whether getting the best possible return is still realistic or whether simply ending this increasingly ugly breakup has become the priority.

One thing is certain: Minnesota's reported three-first-round-pick proposal makes the Wild a team Detroit cannot afford to ignore.
