To Minn: Larkin and Wallander
To Det: Yarov, Bodin, Hartman and a 1st
Detroit Red Wings Rumours
Use our rumours form to send us nhl trade rumors.
04 Sep 2026 12:28:01
MIN: Larkin
DET: Mercer, Saliyev, Gritsyuk, 1st
NJD: Q. Hughes
I think they should get a 3rd team involved. DET gets 2 middle 6 roster peices and a 1st + a top defense prospect. Minny and NJ get their guy.
04 Sep 2026 19:22:10
I think the whole reason Larkin wants to go to Minny is to play with Hughes... so if he's traded doubt Larkin signs off.
16 Aug 2026 15:08:17
3 way Trade
To Detroit
Pettersen
1st 2028 Dallas
To Canes
Larkin
To Vancouver
Nikishin
Felix Unger-Sorum / Bradley Nadeau
1st Pick Canes 2027
Detroit solve the Larkin problem and get another 1C.
Vancouver Trade Pettersen and receive 3 good piece to build around.
Canes get a 1C and solve Nikishin problem.
16 Aug 2026 15:24:00
Vancouver make out like bandits.
16 Aug 2026 16:19:11
Maybe the 1st is too much, Canes pays a lot. Maybe a 2nd instead of the 1st or no pick at all!
17 Aug 2026 20:32:55
Pettersson will not get Nikishin alone, nevermind the prospect add. Kotkaniemi would need to go. So maybe, and I stress maybe Kk and Nikishin for Pettersson. Unless Pettersson can play very well this year, the Canucks will need to take a lot less.
20 Aug 2026 03:44:21
Maybe Carolina overpay, but I think that the 3 way trade is a good way for the three teams to make a trade that solve their problems!
Adding Kk to VAN would make a lot of sense!
Maybe the 1st or the prospect is too much!
04 Sep 2026 04:09:41
I agree, swap the Dallas first with Kotkienemi. And one of the other young pieces has to go to Detroit not Vancouver.
23 Jul 2026 05:08:30
San Jose might not be on Larkin list, but it could be to facilitate a trade. San Jose are really promising.
Larkin
Vs
Misa
Toffoli
Detroit get a top prospect with high ceiling and a veteran for their top player that wants out.
San Jose 2nd line become dangerous while Celebrini and Stenberg run the show on the 1st.
23 Jul 2026 13:25:48
No on Misa.
19 Jul 2026 02:46:19
NJ gets Gustavsson
Minny gets Larkin and Allen
Detroit gets Mercer, Yurov and Hameenaho
19 Jul 2026 12:10:22
No enough for Detroit.
19 Jul 2026 12:31:49
Minny adds a 1st or 2nd in 2027.
24 Jul 2026 22:21:48
I like a three way trade and I think this is solid. But I agree maybe swap the jersey prospect for a Minny 1st?
15 Jul 2026 02:39:15
Larkin
Danielsson
Vs
Robertson
Robertson signed 8 x 16m.
Both teams solve their problem.
Detroit get a better player for one that wants out. Dallas got a 1C with a more reasonable contract and a good prospect NHL ready.
15 Jul 2026 10:11:58
Danielson isn't a 1C, not yet anyways.
15 Jul 2026 13:41:42
Larkin is the 1C, Danielsson is the prospect.
15 Jul 2026 14:04:32
So 2 C's for a winger.
16 Jul 2026 00:38:31
I think it's fair. Center are more valuable than winger, but Robertson is the best player of the trade.
And also, Dallas contract negociation with Robertson are not going well and Larkin wants out of Détroit.
16 Jul 2026 19:20:39
Larkin for Robertson is fair. Danielson is not a throw in.
23 Jun 2026 02:00:16
Detroit Red Wings
- C Dylan Larkin ($8.7m until 2031)
Anaheim Ducks
- C/LW Mason McTavish ($7m until 2031)
- LD Pavel Mintyukov (RFA)
- C Roger McQueen ($1.08m until 2029) or 2028 1st round pick (Top 10 protected)
- 2027 2nd round pick
Brady Tkachuk trade is the new blueprint for any Larkin trade, three 1st round picks and a 2nd round pick.
Brady has 2 years left on his contract, Larkin has 5.
Anaheim trade three players drafted in the 1st round and a 2nd round pick, or two players, a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick.
Thoughts?
23 Jun 2026 03:38:23
This is a bigger package for a lesser player IMO.
24 Jun 2026 10:28:48
Larkin is a 60 70 pt 2 C he aint worth it.
11 Feb 2026 21:07:56
Detroit sends: Kasper, Compher, Soderblom, Mazur, Augustine, 2026 1st, 2027 3rd.
St. Louis sends: Thomas, Faulk, 2027 5th.
Or
Detroit Sends: Kasper, 2026 3rd
N. Y. Rangers send: Trochek.
13 Feb 2026 17:37:07
detroit would have to give up
danielson, bear, 2026 st +++.
16 Feb 2026 15:04:06
- Habs need another lefty, and Thomas is a righty. Good player, but the wrong target for the Habs.
- Thomas will require a healthy return if he’s to be traded, but the assets as suggested make this a huge overpay.
17 Feb 2026 01:29:45
@Chickenfoot
Not sure what the Habs have to do with this proposal.
18 Feb 2026 18:07:43
lets see top 15 1c in the league signed for 6 more years at 8 mil.
A 1c at deadline would cost 1st and A prospect
so imagine a ppg 1c center that is 25 signed for 6 more years is going to cost. it just doesnt get done. it would cost MTL
Kappenan, Hage Zhovorsky, 1st 2026
its just that simple.
28 Jan 2026 01:49:26
St. Louis Blues
- RD Justin Faulk ($6.5m until 2027)
Detroit Red Wings
- 2026 1st round pick
- conditional 2028 3rd round pick* (condition: St. Louis will receive Detroits 2028 2nd round pick if the Red wings advance to the playoffs)
- RD Travis Hamonic ($1m pending UFA)
There haven't been many comparable trades going back to last season for defenseman with 1 year of term remaining. In June 2024 Jon Marino was traded from New Jersey to Utah for 2024 and 2025 2nd round picks (and he had 4 years of term remaining) .
In this scenario, Detroit receives a veteran top 4 right handed defenseman with another year of term remaining after this season.
St. Louis receives a 2026 1st round pick, a 2028 3rd round pick (with potential to move up to a 2nd round pick), and a roster replacement defenseman and pending UFA.
28 Jan 2026 07:04:08
I think you have Detroit paying some hefty prices. I think they can have Faulk at full cap for less.
28 Jan 2026 16:57:59
per an article army's expectation is for a 1st and 2nd. If you look at faulks stats gp53 g11 a14 p25. He is 7thin goals in the league and plays over 22 mins a night and has one more year.
29 Jan 2026 00:37:34
Honestly more impressive stats than I thought but I would still be surprised if he’s gets a 1st. Probably a number 4/ 5 on a cup contender?
29 Jan 2026 13:22:56
why its a sellers market and he plays 22mins a night. Top 4 rhd dman. he gets a first plus. or i would take nate danielson straight up.
30 Jan 2026 06:53:41
Ya fair enough with it being a sellers market. The extra year will probably limit the teams interested though.
03 Feb 2026 17:18:13
we will see. I bet he gets a first or a top d prospect.
28 Jan 2026 01:25:45
New York Rangers:
- C Vincent Trochek ($5.625m until 2029)
Detroit Red Wings:
- 2026 2nd round pick* (Conditional: New York receives Detroits 2027 1st round pick if the Red Wings advance to the 2nd round of playoffs)
- LW Carter Bear (2025 14th overall pick)
- C/ LW Michael Rasmussen ($3.2m until 2028)
- 2027 3rd round pick
There aren't many comparable trades for a 2nd line center going back tk last season. Buffalo traded Dylan Cozens and a depth defenseman last season for Josh Norris and JBD.
In this scenario, Detroit acquires a 2nd line center with term remaining on his contract.
New York receives a top forward prospect, a top 9 forward with term, a 2nd round pick (with potential to be a 1st round pick) and 3rd round pick. The Rangers would have 6 draft picks in the first 3 rounds of the draft to improve their team as they retool.
17 Jan 2026 14:50:32
NY Rangers: Panarin (-50%)
Detroit: Danielson, 2026 1st, 2027 conditional 2nd round pick (The reserve pick is the second round if Detroit advances to the 2nd round of the playoffs. Otherwise, the reserve pick is the 2027 4th round pick. )
20 Jan 2026 12:52:15
not a bad trade but based on what been reported can't see the wings making this trade with out an extension in place.
12 Jul 2025 17:04:43
DET: Sends A. Copp, J. Breggren, N. Danielson, 1st 2027.
PIT: Sends E. Karlsson (2 million retained) B. Rust.
24 Jun 2025 15:39:15
Toronto to get the ball rolling.
TOR: Jason Robertson
FLA: Brad Marchand
VGK - Reilly Smith
DET: Patrick Kane
BUF: Bowen Byram
Robertson - Matthews - Knives
Kane - Marchand - Nylander
Domi - Laughton - Smith
Tanev - McMann - Pacioretty
Rielly - Byram
Benoit - Tanev
McCabe - Myers
24 Jun 2025 18:51:49
I think you need to get out of the sub.
25 Jun 2025 17:51:57
?
What are the trade, signing, or cap details? Or are you just amusing yourself by aimlessly writing random names on the page?
23 May 2025 23:20:11
My very Flames-favoured offseason (feel free to cook me)
Draft Weekend:
To CGY: 2nd overall
To SJ: Connor Zary, Rasmus Andersson, Sam Honzek/Aydar Suniev, Henry Mews
To CGY: 13th overall, 75th overall
To DET: Blake Coleman (50% retained for 2 seasons), FLA 1st (29-32), Daniil Miromanov
Calgary Drafts:
2 - Micheal Misa/Matthew Schaefer
13 - Brady Martin/Jake Obrien
18 - Braeden Cootes/Roger McQueen
54 - Eric Nilson/Cole McKinney/Will Horcoff
75 & 80 - Theo Stockselius/Philip Veilleux/Filip Ekberg/Peyton Kettles/Haoxi Wang
July 1st:
To CGY: Marco Rossi
To MIN: Nazem Kadri
(This deal doesn't NEED to happen if Calgary gets misa + Martin but that's unlikely to happen)
CGY signs Rossi to 7x7
Sign Vlad Gavrikov 7m x 3 years to play with Parekh (or with Weegar if Bahl is better with Parekh)
Resign Vladar or go sign Jake Allen if you don't trust Devin Cooley.
Extend Bahl (RFA) to 5m x 7-8 years
Extend Wolf (RFA) to 8-9m x 8 years
Sign Frost to 2-3 years at most. $ doesn't matter for that contract (call it between 3.5-5m).
Roll into opening night with:
Huberdeau-Rossi-Coronato
Sharangovich-Frost-Pospisil
Stromgren-Backlund-Farabee
Lomberg-Kirkland-Klapka
Gavrikov-Weegar
Bahl-Parekh
Kuznetsov-Pachal
Bean
Wolf
Vladar
The hope is this roster is dog water and lands us Mckenna, Stennberg, or Rooboreck.
Enter 2026 with
Mckenna-Rossi-Coronato
Sharangovich-Misa-Gridin
Huberdeau-Frost-Farabee
Stromgren-Pospisil-Klapka
24 May 2025 19:54:08
That is very busy. If they could pull that all off they would be set for future.
26 May 2025 19:23:14
Great thoughts. I feel you are selling low on Anderson. Anderson (with 50% retained and then an extension with the new team), Honzek and Mews should get you the 2025 second.
Instead of the Detroit trade I would take the same Calgary players and make the trade with Minnesota for Rossi.
This should put us near a McKenna draft position since Wolf is going to have an off year.
22 Apr 2025 14:02:34
Quinn Highes and Nils Hoglander from Canucks, to Detroit for Seeider, Nate Danielson, 25 and 26 1st round picks.
Sounds like Quinn wants a chance to play with his brothers, so Detroit makes sense to have a better chance to acquire all 3, while Seider can help fill the void on defense, Danielson is a young centre Canucks need and the 2 1sts are to get the deal done.
22 Apr 2025 16:18:59
Detroit wouldn't and shouldn't do that imo. Why pay that much for 2 years of a player when you have absolutely no idea what his real intentions are once this contract is up?
Let Vancouver sweat it out and worry about losing him for nothing or getting him extended for the next 2 years. You can always step in further down the road when the picture becomes clearer and Vancouver may be in a position to sell at a reduced price.
28 Feb 2025 18:44:34

U r as bad as pinball.
02 Mar 2025 02:28:32
That first trade is one of the craziest posts I've seen on this site. Edmonton is adding?
26 Feb 2025 18:19:48
Pittsburgh Penguins
- Erik Karlsson ($10m until 2027)
Detroit Red Wings
- Michael Rasmussen ($3.2m until 2028)
- Vladimir Tarasenko ($4.75m until 2026)
- Trey Augustine (Goaltending prospect)
2025 1st round pick
Augustine and the 1st hold more future value. Rasmussen and Tarasenko add to the active Penguins roster as they retool and try to give Crosby a good supporting cast for the end of his career.
26 Feb 2025 19:01:03
I don't see the wings making this trade. Karlsson is terrible defensively and the pens are desperate to get rid of him and the wings aren't moving augustine or a first for an older player. if they move those assets it would be for a younger player that can be part of their core!
27 Feb 2025 14:02:16
Detroit says no thank you! Not even close! And this with no retention? I don't think Detroit does this for "future considerations"!
27 Feb 2025 15:50:07
It's pretty wild that with all the prospect talent in the Wings pipeline, you guys are hesitant to offer a 1st round pick and goaltender to improve the team defense.
Tarasenko will be hard to shop without packaging him with another player who holds more value and/ or draft picks.
Ek65 hasn't fit in with the Penguins roster, but he'd be the 3rd best defenseman on the Red Wings current roster. Detroit can absorb his entire contract without any cap concerns and the cap will increase next season aswell.
27 Feb 2025 16:05:23
DrwDave. Im not against bring Karlsson in. but you don't need to send a 1st or Augustine to get him! this is not the Karlsson from 4 years ago, if he was the pens would be alot better! chances are you could get him for a 3rd and b prospect since the pens want to get ride of him. and if the wings are going to trade those assets to improve the team its not going to be 34 year old defenseman it would be for a young dman that would fit in with their young core.
27 Feb 2025 17:06:25
I think you're undervaluing Karlssons trade value just as much as you think I'm overvaluing it.
Karlsson even at 34 can produce 40-50 points when he's put in the right situation. He should never have gone to Pittsburgh, there was no fit for him on their roster.
Considering the Wings are holding a wild card spot right now and are thin on the right side, Im more than happy to explore trades for a veteran defenseman who has playoff experience and can work well with Edvinsson on the 2nd pair. Even if that means trading a 1st/ 2nd and a prospect like Augustine or Wallinder with Tarasenko to get him off the books.
27 Feb 2025 19:29:00
I don't think i am undervaluing him at all, i think he is a good offensive defensemen, he can help this team! however with that being said he's in his mid 30's with an injury history and is a minus defensively. He is making 10 mil a year for the next couple of years. Yes Tarasenko could be tough to move but if they don't trade him they can buy him out at the end of the year. I hope the wings add him however i would be shocked if the wings gave up anywhere near what you purposed, at the most it would be a 2nd with a b prospect and the pens eating money. other then that i think the wings would pass. you can find other veteran d man that would be a plus that would cost alot less!
09 Jan 2025 00:07:59
Vancouver decides to trade both.
1st trade
Detroit sends Dylan Larkin $8,700,000 (whom requested a trade earlier this year)
and use their Projected Cap Space
$3,437,594 to aquire:
Elias Petterson $11,600,000
2nd trade
NYR sends
(c) Filip Chytil (4.4)
(rw) Alexis Lafreniere (2.325)
(D) Braden Schneider (2.2)
To Vancouver for:
(c) J.T. Miller - 8m
(rw) Kiefer Sherwood 1.5M
09 Jan 2025 12:47:46
the rumour about larkin requesting a trade was false! wings say no to this trade!
09 Jan 2025 14:27:54
Larkin did NOT request a trade earlier. And I would not accept Petterson for Larkin 1 for 1. Patterson has more talent, but Larkin's compete level has never been questioned, and he is a leader, unlike Petterson.
09 Jan 2025 15:43:29
- IF the Larkin rumour was true, VCR would do both trades.
- Both DET & NYR are weaker after these trades.
- 2 troubled teams like NYR & VCR should be able to come together on a trade where they can exchange problems to see if a change of scenery could help either or both.
10 Jan 2025 15:12:31
Skill-wise petey > Wings, BUT value to organization wise, Larkin should be untradeable. Trading a captain is not a good look and he is the foundation for the Wings.
The NYR is interesting but didn’t they have JT already? I also think Laf has earned his spot so it’s unlikely they trade him.
07 Jan 2025 12:56:42
Red Wings trade Rasmussen to Canucks for Hoglander. Wings get a 24 goal scorer to help offensively, Canucks get a reliable 2 way forward who adds a bit of size to the forward group.
09 Jan 2025 14:35:42
Detroit says no thank you. They have a small forward group, and trading the only one they have with size for a 5'9" 185lb one probably won't fly.
01 Jan 2025 15:57:47
Detroit Trades
PKane*
Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Kampf
1st Round Pick 2026
*Detroit retains 50% of PKane's expiring contract.
Detroit looking for possible assets in trading PKane on an expiring contract and would get this in my proposal.
Toronto would solidify the Top 9 adding PKane and help for their playoff run.
Thoughts ?
01 Jan 2025 18:55:17
There's nothing in it for Detroit, they have to wait a year for the first, retain and take a cap dump with term. They can easily get better.
01 Jan 2025 19:23:03
I doubt Detroit has any interest in Kampf or Robertson. A 2026 1st for Kane might be OK, but Toronto would need to add to get Detroit to takethose 2. No thank you.
01 Jan 2025 22:51:54
memarcusjoe and lago
What do you really believe Detroit can get for PKane when he was traded away for pretty much nothing a few years back?
02 Jan 2025 00:34:09
We've been over this already. The difference between now and 2022 is that back in 2022 Kane would only allow a trade to the Rangers which limited that the return was for Chicago.
Even in 2025 Kane is worth more than the two Leafs forwards you have the least respect for and a late 2026 1st round pick, especially at 50% off.
If you know the Red Wings are looking for possible assets by trading Kane, try including some possible assets.
02 Jan 2025 14:37:10
Wow. Kampf & Robertson offered up yet again. I didn't see THAT coming. I'm sure we'll see it many, many more times.
Kane is the wrong target for a leaf team desperate to escape the first round. Full respect to the player he was, but he just doesn't seem like he'd be a Craig Berube player in 2025.
02 Jan 2025 14:57:52
2 weeks ago Kampf was worth more than Hathaway because hes a center even though he only had 3 assists at that time.
Now he has 2 goals and an assist for 6 points, and he's worth less than he was worth 2 weeks ago. He had to be packaged with Robertson and a 1st round pick in hopes of getting a winger at 50% off.
Even though you swore up and down 2 weeks ago that centers have more value than wingers.
Just more proof that you belong on the spectrum Pinball.
02 Jan 2025 17:10:26
DrwDave
You are really comparing Hathaway to PKane?
I am actually laughing right now with that comment.
02 Jan 2025 17:24:16
delete reply.
02 Jan 2025 17:35:59
Im comparing your evaluation of Kampf based on 2 trade proposals you made 2 weeks apart.
2 weeks ago you argued that Kampf (with only 3 assists) was worth more than Hathaway (depth winger) because centers are worth more than wingers.
Today you think that Kampf (with 2 goals and 4 assists) is only worth Kane (depth winger) when he's packaged with Robertson (depth winger) and a late 1st round pick.
So which one are you going to admit you're wrong about, Kampfs trade value today or Kampfs trade value 2 weeks ago?
Either way Kampf isn't waiving his clause to be traded from a team at the top of the division to a team near the bottom of the division.
Hopefully one day you'll have some respect for the depth players on your favorite team and stop trying to desperately trade them for everything and nothing at the same time.
05 Jan 2025 06:00:51
HALARIOUS!
50% off kane for a first round pick. Assuming that he helps them get past the second round, that first round pick will be close to a high end second round.
?.
