Supposedly said that Buffalo's latest request was Larkin and Kindl for Myers...

And... I think this would be done if that was it and I like Larkin a lot.

Myers for Larkin and Kindl: Declined?

so I am scratching my head at this one. According to Darren Dreger, it WAS Mantha, Kindl, and a 1st. And now it is Kindl and Larkin, but Holland still turns it down?

To me, this is a steal and a no brainer. Unless Larkin is somehow projected to be a number one center in the league. And Larkin could still potentially sign with Detroit if he pulls a Justin Schultz.

Can anyone make sense od this?

 

[VladTheImpaler]

It absolutely should've been done if that was the case, and I also like Larkin a lot.

 

[KJoe88]

Like I said in the other thread

Should pull the trigger rather easily.

 

[Claypool]

At this point I doubt Detroit is interested and any speculation about the asking price is just that: speculation.

I call bologna on that one.

I think it was Larkin, Kindl, 1st. Holland is probably saying the 2015 first is off limits and that's what killed the deal.

But... hey. Good to know Larkin has that kind of value.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Guessing nobody is more surprised by this asking price being reported by Dregger than Holland.

I seriously doubt it. Is interesting if Buffalo values Larkin this highly though, I think there must have been more like the 2015 1st rounder.

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

If that was the deal I'd make it in a heartbeat but if we had to add in our 2015 1st I don't think I would make that trade. Myers is good but right now he's a #3 on a contender and he hasn't exactly been a world beater the past couple of seasons. If the Wings are super high on Larkin and view him as a very good #2C in his prime then I can see why they are hesitant to move him, especially if they only view Myers as a #3/4 dman.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

If Holland declined a pick next year, a (projected middle 6) player who's 4 years out of playing in the NHL, and useless Kindl for an immediate upgrade at defense, he's out of his ****ing mind.

 

[lilja4mvp*]

He should be fired immediately if he turned that down.

No, Myers is not worth the 2014 1st and 2015 1st picks (both are of unknown quantity) just to take a player off our roster that we could just assume waive.

Seems like there's more that Dregers not telling, Like maybe Detroit's 2015 1st rounder. If this was all the Murray wanted for Myers I can't believe that Holland would'nt do the deal. Still better then having to give up either Mantha or Nyquist.

 

[LeighDx59]

I might be in the minority here, but I don't want to trade Larkin off. I was so happy when we drafted him and I honestly don't see Myers as worth it right now. The price tag is way too high IMO to begin with.

 

[SoupNazi]

If that was the asking price I have a hard time understanding why Myers isn't in a Wings jersey.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

More than that, I'm surprised Anaheim hadn't topped it, seemed like their camp had better offers. I'd throw the 2016 first in no problem, but not the 2015.

 

[Dotter]

I might be the minority here, but I wouldn't trade Larkin, he will soon be more untouchable than Mantha.

I'd do Tatar and Jurco+ instead.

Because it's just made up dribble from Drager.

Yikes.

That would definitely make you in the minority because I really doubt anyone else on here is willing to do that.

 

[taliababa]

Tatar + Kindl + 1st 2016 or Tatar + Ericsson + 2nd 2016.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Tatar + Kindl + 1st 2016 or Tatar + Ericsson + 2nd 2016.

Ericsson has a NTC and I seriously doubt that he would waive it for Buffalo.

 

[tfong]

There has to be more to it than this.

 

[KJoe88]

Not to be a jerk or anything....

But why in the heck is Tats being involved in trade proposals anymore?

Imo he's with Nyquist and Mantha as an untouchable. I understand he has his faults, but damn man, he's so exciting. He'll easily be a 25-25 guy.
