Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's already been a really big week for this show.
I hope not to ruin it. This is Mark Rowe in for Brian Hayes today, alongside my two good buddies, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan. What's going on today?
It's about time we had a host with some class and dignity. He's got a Barney suit on, and you look fantastic, and everything is great. I love having Death Row sit in the big chair, because we all need a breather from you-know-who once in a while. So Death Row, the voice of hockey and tennis at TSN. Great to be here with you.
The pleasure is all mine. I definitely made sure that I dressed for the occasion working with you two. And who knows? Maybe we have breaking news today because Hayes is out. We got players already requesting trades. So who knows what we're going to have for the next two hours?
Wow, I love it. The purple.
Is that purple or is it like what's the... I was just having a conversation with Steph about it and we decided lavender was probably the best way. Lavender.
Let me guess something. I'm going to guess something and then I'm going to tell you something. Steph said she loved it. And here's the truth about it now. What she meant when she said that is...
she hates it but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but
Well, we got our hockey insider, Darren Drager, which is a great day to have him on because Dylan Larkin has requested a trade out of Detroit. Yeah. So we can get his thoughts on that and on the Leaf head coaching search. You guys talked about Patrick Waugh maybe being in the mix. So looking forward to him. Peter Laviolette, his name has been... Maybe he's calling you right now.

Chapter 2: What recent trade request has Dylan Larkin made?
For sure.
It's not just like another team that has a good centerman they want to move away from. It's like, yeah, let's see if they want him for Dylan Larkin. I don't know, Jamie, I want you to give me an example of what the equivalent of a Dylan Larkin would be in the National Hockey League. Not even a guy that would be traded. I want to know what you think is his equal, his equivalent.
On the fly, I'm trying to think here. The guy made the Olympic team. Sam Bennett, different player, but type of where you would slot him. Not a one, but a really good two.
Sam Bennett left a frustrating situation and went to a playoff contender and look where his career went. That's what Dylan Larkin is hoping for.
It's a bad comparison because they just don't compare players.
No, I think it's fantastic because I was trying to put my finger on what kind of player, and he's a great example. Would Florida ever do it? Probably not. But that's the type of player. But then again, it's very complicated nowadays with money. And all the things that are attached to contracts, it's a complicated transaction.
I look around the league, and there are teams that would fancy an upgrade down the middle of the ice.
Of course.
I'll give you an example. The Philadelphia Flyers. Like Philly down the middle of the ice. Right now on paper, it's Dvorak, Zegres, Cates, Couturier. Because Couturier used to be higher up, but he's getting older now.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Larkin's trade request for the Red Wings?
If he could be a 1A and you're going X player into Larkin into something else, you know who could use him, honestly? Like right off the top of my head, the Winnipeg Jets. Because that two-hole in Winnipeg, Jonathan Tays is going to go away, Adam Lowry in the three-hole, and you've got Shifley in the one-hole. And that would be formidable. That would be a pretty impressive 1-2-3.
But again, does he want to go to Winnipeg, and what are you giving up to get him? These are the giant what-ifs, and I'm doing this on the fly and not even looking at anything.
It was just good landing spots. You don't have to make the trade.
I think you're doing a pretty good job, Noodles. Trying to figure out as we go on the fly. There's so many teams. I can see the Rangers putting up their hand and saying, hey, we're going to move out Trochek. Man, like to have a Sabanajad into this guy, into Larkin. Like, you know, are the Rangers trying to do something here in the offseason or not?
Like, I think there's so many teams that could put up their hand and say, I want Dylan Larkin. It's just the cost of doing business and what goes the other way.
If you're the Leafs, do you trade Matthew Nyes for Dylan Larkin?
I don't know.
Assuming he would go to Toronto. Let's assume that.
I'm still trying to figure out why Matthew Nyes keeps coming.
