And Detroit actually might be breathing a sigh of relief that their former coach, Mike Babcock, is in the news because it takes away from some of the drama that has embroiled this organization over the last week.

So the Dylan Larkin trade request has been reported.

Multiple outlets have also reported that it's a mere three team list, although there might be some wiggle room there.

We can get into that.

So I guess I'll ask you a two-parter here.

Is it accurate that it's only three teams that Larkin wants to go to?

And then what's next for Steve Iserman now that this trade request is out there?

Is that sort of the play?

Because I know you also had stuff out there about maybe Sebastian Cosa, the younger Detroit goalie, potentially being on the move.

So is that maybe starting to sort of become clear as a fit?

Sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate that it would be Kosa going to Minnesota.

It's like one goalie out, maybe a Wallstead in.

And I know that Kosa hasn't played a ton, if at all, at the NHL level.

I know his numbers in front of me, but it sounds like Eisenman has a lot on his plate here.

And I'm just wondering, back to your earlier point.

what detroit can actually do because you're right like you can't i guess you could but to go into another rebuild having lost larkin because the teams that you're shopping with yeah it doesn't sound like that's an option but i don't know what a lot of these teams can offer up and like you said maybe minnesota can do the goalie thing but outside of that i think florida and vegas are win now teams it seems like this really hamstrings eiserman in this player empowerment sort of era

Yeah, sounds good.

Have a good week.

See you, Paul.

Thanks, Frank.
