Red Wings Changing Trade Focus In Recent Talks
The Detroit Red Wings are starting to realize they're far from contending, and can shift their trade focus to future considerations. Speculation is brewing that the Red Wings front office has changed their tone of late, and is open to different trade packages for former captain Dylan Larkin, and restricted free-agent defenceman Simon Edvinsson. Sportnet's Frank Seravalli reports, the Red Wings are active in trade chatter, and could see some top prospects and draft picks coming back in return: They have been steadfast in their ask for Larkin, that they want young, NHL talent to remain competitive now. But something shifted in their conversations over the weekend with teams after Simon Edvinsson’s trade preference came to light via Elliotte Friedman on Rogers Saturday Night Hockey. Sources say teams were told that the Red Wings would still rather have NHL-ready talent for Edvinsson, of course, but are open to considering the right package for Edvinsson that is more futures-based with prospects and draft picks. As far as potential trade destinations go, the Larkin sweepstakes need to be wrapped up sooner than later, for all parties involved. There's been plenty of chatter about Larkin's list hitting 10 teams now, but there's also been reports that he'd considering just about anywhere besides Detroit. The Boston Bruins seem to be the favorites at this point, and could move Matthew Poitras in the deal. For Edvinsson, the Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs have keen interest, and talks have progressed in the past week or so. The skilled former first-round pick has returned to Sweden to train, and is fed up with the Red Wings' organization for their lack of contract discussions during the summer months.
