Wild’s Larkin Chase Comes With a Heavy Ask

The Wild’s pursuit of Dylan Larkin comes with the kind of cost that makes a front office swallow hard before it starts naming pieces. This is not the sort of trade where you hand over spare parts and call it a day, because the market is clearly asking for real pain. Minnesota has reasons to be interested, but the price tag makes every option look more complicated than the last. The question is not whether Larkin would help - it is how much of the future a team is willing to empty to get him.
