Penguins Eye Larkin as Detroit’s Captain Hits the Rumor Mill

The Penguins are looking at Dylan Larkin, and that alone tells you this is the kind of rumor that makes every front office lean in. Pittsburgh has to weigh whether a player with captain gravity and real two-way value is worth chasing, because those decisions always sound cleaner in June than they look by November. Detroit is not exactly in the business of handing out easy wins, so any pursuit here would come with a price tag and a headache.
