The Detroit Red Wings Want to Move Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson Basically at the Same Time
Steve Kouleas: With Dave Pagnotta, SiriusXM Insider. Okay, what’s going on with Dylan Larkin?”
Dave Pagnotta: “Well, if you find out, please let me know.”
Kouleas: “Okay, Strutty, you’re up next.”
Pagnotta: “Status quo with Edvinsson. Status quo with Larkin and his situation from all indications, I’m actually here in Fort Lauderdale. The Red Wings are here. They’re playing the Panthers (Thursday night). Larkin, Simon Edvinsson, both guys still want to move. The management and the team are trying to find the right environment that makes sense.
But with respect to Larkin, yeah, status quo. Not much has changed. They’re still waiting to see if he’s going to expand his list, and he’s waiting to see if they’re going to take the best offer on the table from one of the 10 teams.
NHL Rumors: Who Folds First: Simon Edvinsson or the Detroit Red Wings
It sounds like there’s been more traction to a degree with Edvinsson, at least from a conversational side. But obviously, he’s still skating on his own in Nashville. He’s still waiting, and maybe the GM meetings (this past Tuesday) will spark a few conversations beyond where we’re at already. You hope that’s the case, but we’re, again, in wait-and-see mode on both the Larkin and Edvinsson sides here with the Red Wings.”
NHLRumors.com Note: The Detroit Red Wings are still holding their ground on Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson. They want players that can help the team not only now, but for the future. The prices are high on both, but higher on Edvinsson, since he is a young defenseman who can play top-pair minutes in the NHL.
NHL Rumors: Dylan Larkin and the Detroit Red Wings Dug In on Their Positions
We know the San Jose Sharks would like to add a player like that. Not to mention the Nashville Predators, and Edvinsson is currently training in Music City, waiting on a trade and a new contract. There are a lot of hurt feelings from both players in these situations, especially on the Larkin side, who felt a deal should have been done by now.
It will be interesting to see if Detroit can move both players at the same time as the situation drags on, since Simon Edvinsson has a December 1st deadline to play again this season.
