Thread: Center TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMarch</b></div><div>Reasons why Dylan won't be moved unless he asks the Illitches to let him go:

1. DET doesn't trade its captains. They've had 3 in 38 years for that reason.
2. DL is a hometown kid. Play in LIttle Caesars, and at U of M.
3. The Wings and Tigers are run as a family business. There is more than just the product on the ice. Community connection and marketing are huge.
4. DET has to become competitive, they have to pay for that stadium.
5. Unless DL asks to leave, DET will resign him.
6. That trade is garbage. MIN (and anyone else) would have to significantly overpay, even if DL asked to be traded. Yzerman knows what he's doing.</div></div>

Everything in this statement is spot on. You would have to start the conversation with boldy or rossi or both to warrant any desire to trade Larkin. Adding in retention would just make it that much more.

Thread: Trades once healthy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I figured even if he plays well a 3rd is all we'd get for Namestnikov at the TDL. So I agree if Pittsburgh want to give up a 3rd now it works for me. But they aren't going to fit under the cap so if they want to give us Zucker it's better than some of the options.

I believe the phrase is never look a gift horse in the mouth.</div></div>

I just don't want anything to do with that contract, we have enough wingers within the organization that would benefit more from that roster spot next season. Plus it would be doing the Penguins too much of a favour to take him. Maybe if the return was a little better I would agree to it. A third just doesn't make me want to take Zucker, even though its more than what Namestnikov would probably return.
