Dylan Larkin's Top NHL Landing Spots After Brady Tkachuk Blockbuster Panthers-Senators Trade

Brady Tkachuk is reportedly on the move after being traded to the Florida Panthers from the Ottawa Senators on Sunday, and more big moves could be coming this offseason.

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin is rumored to be on the trading block this summer. If the team decides to move on from The Detroit Free Press' Helene St. James previously noted that his preferred landing spots would be Florida, Vegas or Minnesota.

With the Panthers having secured Tkachuk, the Golden Knights and Wild are the two favorites.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported earlier this month that the veteran Larkin had requested a trade, but since he has a no-trade clause, Detroit will have to find a suitor Larkin is willing to be traded to.

St. James noted that the New York Islanders, Anaheim Ducks and Tampa Bay Lightning as possible options "if there's not a favorable deal to be worked out with one of his preferred teams."

Larkin is coming off a season in which he recorded 34 goals and 33 assists, notching his fifth consecutive campaign with 60-plus points.

Larkin should have a pretty decent market, but his pricey contract might mean that Detroit is willing to do something to sweeten a potential deal. He's entering the fourth year of an eight-year, $69.6 million contract and is owed $8.7 million annually for the next five seasons.

Detroit is coming off another rough season in which it finished 41-31-10 to miss the playoffs for a 10th consecutive year.

A deal back to the Red Wings would surely have to include some draft capital, as Detroit doesn't have a first-round pick this year. For the Red Wings to get some picks for Larkin this year, a trade would have to occur before the start of the NHL draft on Friday.
