We also have other insiders chiming in on some new destinations that he has been linked to and we finally have some clarity after months of wondering what the Red Wings want in return, months of confusion, conflicting reports, we finally have some clarity from an NHL insider as to what the Wings are looking for exactly in return for Dylan Larkin and from some of the reports it sounds like it's not a matter if he wants to be traded it's a matter of when at this point we're going to break down all of these new reports and much more in this episode of Red Wings Digest but guys before we jump into all of that a quick reminder to hit that subscribe button thank you so much to you guys who are subscribed to the channel watch every day comment every day and thank you so much for over 5,000 subscribers now we're almost at 6,000 subscribers unbelievable so thank you so much for tuning in every single day and mark and i are going to give you guys updates on what's happening with the red wings every single day now nhl insider Darren Dreger just revealed a huge Dylan Larkin trade update revolving around what the asking price is for the Red Wings former captain and center right now of course Dylan Larkin off to a pretty good start so far this season and he's still a Red Wing and he's going to be playing tonight we're going to talk about the game tonight as well because it's going to be a very interesting test for the Red Wings but he has revealed that the asking price what the Red Wings are looking for because we heard a lot of different conflicting reports through the summer through preseason up until today about what they want according to Darren Dreger they want two A quality prospects two slam dunk prospects they want a top nine forward that can play now and NHL ready forward which is super vague top nine i mean third liner second liner do you want a top line player that can play in the NHL right now what exactly is that and i guess they're you know fielding offers and attached to the offer with these two things that they want a first round pick so they want a first round pick two slam dunk prospects and a top nine forward that can play in the NHL right now now this is very different than what we heard earlier in the offseason which is they want to trade Dylan Larkin for a top line center so they want a contender to trade for Dylan Larkin and in return they'll take the contenders top line center that doesn't make sense for any team that's acquiring Dylan Larkin this does make sense and with the way Dylan Larkin started the season the type of player that he is say what you want about him the trade request that you're mad about it you're mad about you know the fact that everything's gone to this point you're mad about ownership you booed him at the home opener whatever that looks like he's still a good hockey player right you can respect that fact and whether you know you don't have to like it but myself personally and i said it before on the channel him coming out you know they said that him coming out at the start of the season on the bench and waving whatever and yes he took off immediately was his decision i respect stuff like that and i respect the fact that he's still a good hockey player so can you get these things i think so and that is from Darren Drager report now you're looking at three or four pieces and again that first round pick so that's what they're looking forward i think that trade return actually makes a lot of sense but here's the question that i want to post to you guys too and the thing just to think about Dylan Larkin has a lot of years left whoever's trading for him is getting great value here so you're getting some prospects you're getting a first round pick if you get like a third liner as the player that's ready to play in the NHL right now a second liner it's time to start thinking about and i'm not talking about you now Raymond and and Mo Sider you want to keep those guys those guys are cornerstones but if you're getting some great prospects that might be ready in a year or two and then that first round pick maybe you can flip that first round pick for immediate help maybe you go out and do something like that but is it time for a rebuild i'm just throwing it out there i'm not saying it is but is it time for you know a retool a rebuild it might be anyway it might be anyway it might be you might be forced into doing that but i feel like this trade return makes more sense than what we heard earlier this offseason and is more in line with a guy who is an interim general manager and Steve Yzerman actually being allowed to do his job so that's good news if it's true because what we've heard before is clearly Chris Ilitch pulling the strings right so i think that's pretty interesting now i want to get into a couple other reports as well uh and by the way from uh chris johnson as i mentioned in the intro as well apparently because a lot of people are talking about this and i've seen this in the comments as well are we even sure dylan larkin wants to trade are we still sure about that maybe he wants to stay he'll ride it out chris johnson's reporting no he still thinks dylan larkin wants to be traded and a lot of insiders are sharing that same sentiment that the trade request still stands he would like to be moved but of course there's nothing he can really do about it if the team doesn't get it done and apparently he has eight or nine teams on the table now on a trade list too so um that's just the latest on that Elliot Friedman is speculating that the reaction in Montreal last week may have changed things slightly he's not saying you know a hundred percent uh that you know Dylan Larkin's completely open to Montreal but the reaction in Montreal may have opened the door slightly now Montreal if you think about it in terms of fit for them it makes perfect sense to acquire Dylan Larkin it's just a matter of does Dylan Larkin want to play in canada i don't think that's the case i don't know for sure he hasn't explicitly said that but in terms of the trade return montreal has exactly exactly what the red wings are looking for based on this Darren Dreger report they have exactly what they're looking for so in terms of trade partners if you look around the league in terms of fit for the Montreal Canadiens it makes sense and in terms of return if it is in line truly if that is the truth from the Darren Dreger report the Montreal Canadiens have that they can give you a solid top top nine player they can give you two great prospects they have a lot of really good prospects you're looking at you know Michael Hague right or Hage however you want to pronounce it it might be the second one but they have a great prospect there right that they're looking it's not that they're looking to trade but if they can upgrade immediately to a guy like Dylan Larkin they would make that deal they would trade him that's been thrown out there forever at this point so it's interesting but again Dylan Larkin has been playing very well to start this season the Red Wings of course have not and a lot of people think I'm crazy for saying throw in the towel already I don't like the way they've started there's a lot of turmoil around the team maybe they can pick it up if they make some changes but you got to make those changes now you can't wait till Thanksgiving you can't wait till Christmas the team would be out of it if they continue to play this way so that's something to keep an eye on as well and then you know there's again there's a lot going on I feel like in the dressing room so what would the lineup look like without Dylan Larkin right and again it might look different because you might be adding another top nine forward but what does the lineup look like without Dylan Larkin immediately if you're not getting immediate help if you're getting a prospect that you know is going to be a great prospect a couple prospects is what they're looking for but maybe in a couple years maybe next year the year after that right so that's something that you absolutely have to keep an eye on too so let me know in the comments would you accept this reported return uh for Dylan Larkin of course we you're not naming players but let's say it's Montreal that that would be a great return but there's a lot of teams that could make that deal as reported from Darren Dreger, rather than hey let's just swap top line centers that doesn't make sense for a lot of teams that would be looking to acquire a Dylan Larkin like if you look at Tampa, if you look at Minnesota if you look at Dallas, all these teams hey give us your top line center we'll give you ours like that doesn't why would that make sense for any team if you're looking to get better if you're looking to acquire Dylan Larkin you'd rather give up futures right and or a piece too i think that's a much more reasonable trade request trade ask from the uh Detroit Red Wings now Detroit does play the San Jose Sharks tonight in a very interesting matchup for the team against the Sharks, Macklin Celebrini in town, that's a big matchup now if you look at the standings in the Atlantic Division uh the Red Wings last place in the Atlantic Division this is a big game to try and get back you can tie Toronto here in the standings if the Leafs were to lose tonight which they have a lot going on over there as well uh San Jose big implications for them in this game as well if you look at the Pacific Division has not exactly shaped out like anyone has predicted so far this season with the uh the Seattle Kraken being as good as they are out of the gate but obviously uh if you look in the entire conference San Jose right on the outside looking in and would like to do something about that and get back into the playoff picture i know it's early but you want to keep pace with a lot of these teams and you can see like separation already starting with the Calgaries of the world the Los Angeles Kings the Chicago Blackhawks stuff like that so of course the Vancouver Canucks i didn't even mention them but they you know kind of knew that they were going to be bad again this season so uh dylan larkin against the san jose sharks the last couple seasons as well he likes to play them a lot of his numbers are up in every single game uh while it just being slightly he does like to play and does produce against the San Jose Sharks in his career the last couple of games so that'll be something to monitor tonight as well let me know in the comments how you feel about all these new reports and speaking of comments guys make sure to leave your comments because we do comment of the day every single day now and i'll get to a couple of them today as well and you can see this comment would hate to see Gibson go we talked about it yesterday John Gibson would you trade John Gibson but it's the right decision the Red Wings need to commit to a rebuild instead of teetering between trying to be competitive and building which i could agree with that like if you're just on the outside just on the outside looking at the playoffs every year that's the worst place to be i'd rather know i'm i'm a terrible team or we're headed for the playoffs i don't want it in between this team is far away from being competitive and another comment as well and people are coming with the hot takes people are passionate people are feeling it right now chris is running this franchise chris ilitch the owner this franchise into the dirt and larkin is in his 30s he's given a lot if this franchise wasn't run like a little caesar's pizza location he would probably stay well guys let me know how you feel in the comments below a lot going on with the red wings i feel like that's a much more reasonable trade ask from the red wings if that report from Darren Dreger is true but let me know how you feel about it in the comments below and do you think there's anything to him going to Montreal at this point Elliot Friedman thinks that the door may have been creaked open a little bit doesn't mean that he's going there but a lot of interesting stuff going down
