The Detroit Red Wings want young centers in potential trade talks. Could the Boston Bruins offer James Hagens, Fraser Minten, or Dean Letourneau?
The Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres are still eyeing Detroit's center Dylan Larkin, but neither appears on the Red Wings star’s current no‑trade list. Larkin, a 30‑year‑old three‑time All‑Star with a 53.4% face‑off rate and five consecutive 30‑goal seasons, has expanded his waiver list to ten teams, excluding any Canadian clubs. Analysts suggest he may need to add 13‑15 teams—potentially the Canadiens or Bruins—to facilitate a deal. As of Oct. 28, Larkin sits at two goals and six points in 10 games, with his trade request still active.
It's transition time in the NHL.
