I’d actually give up a lot for Larkin. I’m not sure there’s a better fit as far as a player meshing with a system than there is with Larkin and Carolina.

1st, Jarvis, Morrow, and a B prospect like Suzuki for an extended Larkin.

Nah. Jarvis is a keep. Especially if in 2 years Aho decided to move on.

I don't see Detroit letting Larkin go, and I don't think Larkin wants to leave Motown.  Either way it would take a lot to get Larkin unless he cratered his trade value by saying he wouldn't be signing with the Red Wings due to negotiations going south.  He isn't that kind of guy.  Personally, I don't think you "give up the farm" for him.

I think the Canes may be the most serious about acquiring Toews.  He is a Rod type of center, plays a good two way game and needs to be on a team competing for something.  He isn't having a great year in Chicago, but who is?  I think the cost would be relatively "cheap," but probably hinges on the Blackhawks retaining some salary.  How much they retain will set the price for him.

I don't think Kane really wants to play here, but I could be wrong.

Both Toews and Kane are rentals. I don't want a 32 game rental that will cost the team a few years worth of prospects and draft pick(s).

Meter, Tarasenko, Larkin are all long term investments that almost guarantee future success. I'm mentioning these 3 as they seem to be market favorites right now. 

But look, I still think one of the 2 goalies may be in play. Both Andersen and Raanta are free agents after the season and Kochetkov is waiting in the wings with a recently signed multi-year contract.

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
