Dylan Larkin trade proposal emerges: It would ultimately be a loss for the Detroit Red Wings

Rumors continue to swirl in the midst of a nine-year playoff drought for the Detroit Red Wings, including the topic of a trade involving team captain Dylan Larkin.
In April, Dylan Larkin and general manager Steve Yzerman clashed during their season-exit interviews which sparked speculation on Larkin's future with the Red Wings.
«It was hard that we didn't do anything,» Larkin said. «And then I felt the group kind of-we didn't gain any momentum from the trade deadline, and guys were kind of down about it. It'd be nice to add something and bring a little bit of a spark on the ice, and maybe a morale boost as well.»
Despite this argument between the two, Yzerman confirmed Larkin's departure date, but that doesn't stop hockey fans and outlets from creating trade proposals.
That includes a recently proposed trade from Heavy.com that would ultimately be a loss for the Detroit Red Wings.
Minnesota Wild acquire Dylan Larkin in proposed trade
If the Red Wings would ever decide to part ways with their beloved captain, a large future asset would need to be heading to Detroit to make it somewhat worthwhile.
And that's about all the proposal offers.
"Red Wings acquire:
-Marco Rossi
-2026 third-round pick
-Wild acquire:
-Dylan Larkin
-2026 fifth-round pick"
-Marco Rossi
-2026 third-round pick
-Wild acquire:
-Dylan Larkin
-2026 fifth-round pick"
The proposed deal is an obvious score for Minnesota and, ultimately, a disrespectful offer from the POV of the Red Wings.
Marco Rossi, a 23-year-old forward who has only played two full NHL seasons early in his career, is already becoming a red flag for general managers around the NHL.
After an impressive 60-point season with the Wild, the young skater is in a contract dispute with the organization, as it appears that he's holding out for the most amount of money possible.
A headache the Red Wings don't need to say the least.
Despite the ongoing speculation of a Larkin trade, rest assured that the captain isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
