I mean, the team doesn't have to automatically say, all right, well, we respect your trade request here.

So we're going to do everything within our power to move you to,

You know, Minnesota seems to be the flavor of the afternoon based on social media speculation.

And we can appreciate that Billy Aaron would have a ton of interest in Dylan Larkin.

You know, it's great captain and all of those things.

It does get a lot more complicated when it is now as public as it is.

Because Steve Eisenman might be next to Lou Amarillo when he was the general manager.

The most private GM there is in the National Hockey League.

Nice man, see him in the hallways, the fancy hotels we stay at when there are general managers meetings, but he does not pull the curtain back.

He does not.

So this whole process is going to anger him and it's going to get complicated.

Maybe some would have known.

I can tell you by the GM reaction to me, based on the news breaking this afternoon, they didn't know.

And these would be managers who are in the market for that type of player.

Like a centerman, right?

Now, Dylan Larkin's going to have a big say in what that market looks like.

We've already established that.

Yeah, honestly, I'm not going to waste any time digging in on how the leak happened.

But as we've just talked about here, do we honestly think that that information is coming out of the Detroit Red Wings organization?

I don't.
