Dylan Larkin trade from Red Wings to Minnesota Wild could reportedly impact Quinn Hughes
A potential trade of Detroit’s captain Dylan Larkin to the Minnesota Wild could be the catalyst for defense star Quinn Hughes to sign a long‑term extension. Insider Jeff Marek and David Pagnotta say Larkin’s arrival would prove Wild GM Bill Guerin’s win‑now commitment, meeting Hughes’ demand for top‑line playmaking and a stronger roster. The two players train together in the offseason, and securing Larkin would signal Minnesota’s readiness to compete for the Stanley Cup, prompting Hughes to lock in a multi‑year deal alongside Kirill Kaprizov. The article outlines the trade’s strategic impact and the delicate balance needed to satisfy both Detroit and Minnesota.
Duguay Helped Breathe Life Into Red Wings
Ron Duguay, who died at 69 from cancer, is remembered for revitalizing the Detroit Red Wings after his 1983 trade from the New York Rangers. Despite initial doubts—calling Detroit a non‑contender—Duguay posted 33 goals and 80 points in 1983‑84, helping the Wings reach the playoffs for the first time since 1977‑78. He followed with a career‑high 89 points in 1984‑85 alongside Steve Yzerman and John Ogrodnick, cementing a potent scoring line. Former teammates describe him as a gritty, team‑first player who balanced a flamboyant off‑ice persona with relentless on‑ice effort. His impact laid part of the foundation for the franchise’s subsequent resurgence.

Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin says the team is ready to write a big check for Hughes, but the defenseman is taking a “wait‑and‑see” approach and hasn’t committed yet.

Dylan Larkin could avoid trade to Wild by going a step ahead of Quinn Hughes
Dylan Larkin’s looming trade may sidestep the Minnesota Wild after he updated his no‑trade list to exclude the Canadiens and Rangers, keeping only the Wild as a preferred destination. However, Elliotte Friedman suggests Larkin could instead waive his clause for the New Jersey Devils, where Quinn Hughes is expected to land, potentially reuniting the Hughes brothers and adding a top‑six center for the Devils. A move to New Jersey would make Detroit a winner, while Minnesota risks losing both Hughes and a needed center, jeopardizing its 2026‑27 campaign.

The Detroit Red Wings confirm that Dylan Larkin’s trade is still pending, but a new report suggests the deal may be delayed, potentially benefiting the Montreal Canadiens, who remain interested despite being dropped from Larkin’s expanded 10‑team list. Insider Elliotte Friedman says there’s no sense the situation is closer to resolution, noting Detroit’s high asking price and lack of urgency—Larkin is under contract through 2031 with an $8.7 million cap hit. The Wings are now testing a broader market after expanding Larkin’s trade list from three to ten teams, but expect the process to take more time.

The Canucks (2-8-1) host the Red Wings (3-3-3) at Rogers Arena Tuesday night, trying to snap an eight‑game losing streak.

Goalies Leevi Meriläinen stayed longer on the ice, hinting at a Kevin Lankinen start, though veteran John Gibson is slated for Detroit. Marco Rossi returns after illness, expected to center a line with Paul Cotter and Brock Boeser. Vancouver’s recent 6-3 loss to Carolina featured goals from Linus Karlsson, Arshdeep Bains and Jonathan Lekkerimäki, with Boeser on a four‑game point streak.

The center has expanded his approved trade list to ten teams, with the Minnesota Wild among the early suitors. Detroit must act quickly to secure a solid return before the market cools.
