Yeah, I mean, I think the route probably is going to be whether it's an actual three-teamer or a sequence of two trades where the Red Wings probably reroute whatever they get back from a contender to get a center that can fill at least some version of what Larkin gave them previously.

And so I imagine that's what they're going to try to do and whether it's

an anaheim for example or a team like that that has some young players potentially like they'll probably reroute those guys i think that's the most logical outcome here as opposed to i know everyone's kind of wish casting the minnesota fit but i just don't really see the reason why detroit would do that beyond dylan larkin wanting to go there they're not really obligated to fulfill that wish at this point mitchkov and center no i think i think the red wings need to do

I do think, though, if Larkin had been better post-Olympics last year and he got hurt, which is a big reason for it, this probably never would have happened because they would have made the playoffs and everyone would have been happy.

But because of his underwhelming production, they missed, and now all of a sudden this is a big issue.

Yeah.

I had Corey Schneider on.

We talked about game two, a cup final and plenty more after every game.

I didn't think that was the number on my waistline, but there we go.

Is that a compliment or an insult?

Who can say?

I have no idea.

I'm doing well.

Buffalo's great.

Beautiful day today.

Looking forward.

So today, all the agents and the general managers basically leave.

Like all of the pre-combined dinner dates and such have mostly ended.

And what's now to come is media availabilities for the top prospects, which is where I'm going to run to.
