Detroit’s interim GM Shawn Horcoff may be attempting to move Dylan Larkin and defense prospect Simon Edvinsson in simultaneous trades, according to insider Darren Dreger. While there’s no rush on Larkin, Edvinsson faces a Dec. 1 deadline to sign his RFA or miss the season, prompting Detroit to bundle the deals. The Wings want a young center in return for Larkin, and could accept a prospect from an Edvinsson trade. Minnesota is the leading Larkin target, whereas San Jose leads for Edvinsson, though Dreger says “fair offers, but no home‑run offers.” The dual‑trade plan remains speculative but could reshape Detroit’s roster.
The Pittsburgh Penguins slump to a 5-9-2 record and a four‑game losing streak, prompting trade chatter around veterans like Bryan Rust, Rickard Rakell and Erik Karlsson. TSN’s Darren Dreger now reports that 40‑year‑old star Evgeni Malkin will submit a three‑team trade list in January, despite still posting 6 goals and 11 points in 14 games. The rumor mill suggests a possible move to the Minnesota Wild, reuniting Malkin with former teammate‑turned‑GM Bill Guerin, who may consider the deal if the price fits. The trade could signal a shift toward a younger Penguins roster under GM Kyle Dubas.
Detroit’s captain Dylan Larkin refuses to widen his trade wish list, insisting the Red Wings deal only with the ten teams he named. After the club suspended him without pay in late October, Larkin’s camp told management to work within his approved destinations, which include the Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild, New Jersey Devils, Tampa Bay Lightning, Utah Mammoth, Vegas Golden Knights and Washington Capitals. The stalemate fuels speculation about his future after 12 years in Detroit, as the team navigates the dispute amid the regular season.

The Minnesota Wild continue to market forward Yakov Trenin, a $3.5 million cap‑hit winger/center who signed a four‑year, $14 million deal in July 2024. At 29, Trenin has logged 13 goals, 40 points and 729 hits in 175 games for Minnesota, but this season he’s goalless with two assists in 17 games. The team hopes moving his contract will free space for a top‑two centre, especially as they also list prospect Danila Yurov as a trade chip. With a 10‑team no‑trade list, his market remains limited, though his physicality could attract a contender.

The piece also debates a free‑agency pursuit of Nikita Kucherov, noting his agent’s hints that the Lightning star may be ready to move on and could command a short‑term deal. Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks suffer a 7-2 defeat to the Kings, prompting a players‑only meeting.
The Chicago Blackhawks traded for defenseman Bowen Byram on June 23, 2026 and gave him a six‑year, $75 million extension on July 1, but his season has quickly unraveled. After a preseason hat‑trick against the Minnesota Wild, Byram has struggled in the regular season, posting just five shots on goal in six games, eight giveaways and a –7 rating. He recorded his first point on Oct. 13, then went day‑to‑day with an upper‑body injury, missed several games, and was later cleared medically but said he wasn’t comfortable playing. Coach Jeff Blashill announced Byram is seeing a specialist, and the club placed him on injured reserve on Nov. 3, retroactive to Oct. 15, while recalling Dillon Boucher from the minors. The saga remains unresolved.
The Minnesota Wild have a lot going on with trying to trade for Dylan Larkin, and throw in Quinn Hughes, but could they get in on Nikita Kucherov?
