Wild, Canadiens Surface As Fits If Larkin Drama Goes Real

Dylan Larkin’s name is suddenly doing the kind of traffic in NHL circles that sends every GM back to the whiteboard. The Wild and Canadiens are among the clubs being framed as fits, which tells you the market is already trying to sort out who can stomach the price. Detroit never wants this conversation in public, but once a captain enters the rumor mill, every contender starts shopping in plain sight. The next move depends on who blinks first, and that usually costs more than fans think.
