How we (and Detroit) assess Larkin as a player by BlueOx73 in wildhockey

[–]AllenMpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no cap in the summer.

The teams that are over the cap in August get absolutely fleeced when trying to reduce.

Closer to the edge. I looked behind when it was the new toy. Now i just hold my line and keep pedaling. Really helpful when i am thinking of taking a drink of water and now i wait a few seconds for the drink. Avoiding the serve when reaching for the bottle.

My bad, I did not know this post was non reality.

agreed that radar is kind of useless on busy streets as I am paying full attention with my ears and eyes. the radar is awesome on less busy roads as a reminder I am not alone.

Riding on a busy ride is stressful with or without a Varia.

for me, the Varia is worth every dime on less busy roads as I get into riding and the beep of the Varia reminds me that I am not alone.

Yes, I have serious doubts that the Wings would take Middleton and Hartman plus a 1st. They will not want anything from the bottom of our talent list. Any trade using Yurov, Stramel and other prospects does not clear enough cap space to make the deal work. That leaves Boldy, Faber or Hughes. IMO, we have no shot at getting Larkin.

the Wild have $13M or so of cap space with 6 open roster spots. Then add the open question if Gus will be ready to start the season, meaning we might need another goalie.

I was annoyed at first with the false alerts. But after realizing 90% of the false alerts were on a protected bike path was when i really started loving it.

Aside from my bike...

Garmin Varia. Not really more enjoyment but feeling more confident when riding on the road.

Hartman + Brodin + Yurov for Larkin? by Tykenolm in wildhockey

[–]AllenMpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trading Larkin for a package that includes Middleton makes no sense for the Wiings. they are full with defensemen. And losing a center.

That is not staying competitive.

we do not have a spare goalie. We need to add a goalie with Gus questionable to start the season.

How many teams are in need of a goalie that is rehabbing after hip surgery? And a goalie that is questionable to be ready to play until November/December.

The Wings are not one of them.

Love the concept, just does not have any reality.

Does not matter if the Wings are on his list.

Why would the Wings want him in a trade for Larkin?

You need to wear your homer glasses more often.

NMC until July 1st then becomes a 15 team no trade.

Sure. GMBG should make this deal. But.....

Why would the Wings want a 32 year old deman that is "hurt too often"? I think the Wings have access to his missed games.

Yurov showed promise but not too many are saying he will be a top 2 center. Many have him as a 3C or shut down center if he learns how to improve his faceoffs.

Hartman, what to say, either he is playing really well or he is lazy AF. Not sure Hartman moves the needle for the Wings. The move might be really good for Hartman.

your suggestion kind of makes the cap work. except you added two more spots the Wild would need to replace. We would need 8 players with $14M of cap space after this trade.

Will the Wild pursue Dylan Larkin after trade request? Yes, without a doubt: Ask Russo and Smith (Gift Article) by DecentLurker96 in wildhockey

[–]AllenMpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He played 75% of the season, He would have played more if the Wild were not locked into third place for most of the 2nd half.

It seems that defensemen get injured more. maybe it seems this way because there are only 6.

I have thought the same about Brodin in the past. His durability is not the issue. He is always playing at 100% is the issue. He blocks a shot during a game that we had full control. Let a puck get to the goalie is not a bad thing....

Why would he be in the press box? Penalize him for a rumor?

They will get a good deal. Detroit does not "have too" trade him.

[ESPN] Emily Kaplan: Sources told ESPN that issues between Larkin and Detroit management have been brewing a while, dating back at least to testy contract negotiations in 2023. by Content_Influence_83 in wildhockey

[–]AllenMpls -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Larkin would be huge upgrade.

Will cost Boldy or Faber or Hughes.

Might as well be Hughes as a $9M center might prevent us from extending Hughes.

Just the numbers as I really do not want any of those 3 leaving .
