Wild Offer Six-Piece Package for Larkin
Minnesota has proposed a six-player-and-pick package to Detroit for Dylan Larkin, whose trade request remains unresolved.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Hockey
The Minnesota Wild have proposed a six-piece trade package to the Detroit Red Wings for center Dylan Larkin. The proposal includes Danila Yurov, Ryan Hartman, Yakov Trenin, and first-round picks in 2027, 2028, and 2029, with Detroit sending Larkin and third-round picks in 2027 and 2028.
Why it matters
The offer reflects Detroit's reported interest in a younger, ready-now player in any Larkin deal. Larkin has approved Minnesota as a preferred destination, adding pressure to resolve his unresolved trade request.
The package pairs an $8.7 million cap hit for Larkin against combined cap hits of $8.5 million for Yurov, Hartman, and Trenin, with Hartman and Trenin each holding a 10-team modified trade protection list. The scale of the proposal is unresolved, as Detroit has not yet responded to the offer.
The players
Dylan Larkin
Dylan Larkin is a Detroit Red Wings center whose trade request has made him the subject of interest from several NHL teams.
Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild are an NHL franchise based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and the team proposing the six-piece package.
Detroit Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings are an Original Six NHL franchise based in Detroit, Michigan, and the team holding Larkin's trade rights.
The details
The proposal was presented on PuckPedia's Puck GM platform and calls for Minnesota to send three players and three first-round picks in exchange for Larkin and two third-round picks. Detroit is reportedly looking to see whether it can beat the Wild's offer, and Larkin's agent has told the Red Wings to finalize a deal with one of the ten teams on his list.
Timeline
Yurov scored his sixth goal of the season in Minnesota's 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.
The proposed package includes first-round picks in 2027, 2028, and 2029 from Minnesota.
Season Trajectory
Larkin's trade request arrives while Detroit's roster direction is in question, and the offers reflect how NHL teams weigh veteran centers against younger, cost-controlled assets. The package's reliance on first-round picks through 2029 signals how Minnesota is positioning itself for future seasons.
For fantasy managers, Larkin's destination would reshape the Minnesota and Detroit center depth charts, and the proposed trade would move Yurov and Hartman into different roles. The protection lists on Hartman and Trenin mean only certain teams can complete a deal involving them.
The takeaway
A trade request left unresolved forces teams to compete on value, and the protection lists on Hartman and Trenin show how contract details limit which offers can move forward.
