This article gave some speculation to a possible Leon Draisaitl trade to the Wings. However. It says we might give up our Captain and possibly Mo for him.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on this?
The article also gave some speculation to a possible Stamkos signing as well

Red Wings take step forward by adding superstar by taking 2 steps back because we traded our existing stars for him
So dumb
Leon would cost a war chest of assets but Larkin and Mo isn’t improving the team
Not even sure i would do Draisaitl for Seider straight up to be honest, i would probably pass.
Draisaitl is top 5 player in this league but i dont think that he would help us to win anything If price is as high as it should be
I would definitely be butthurt if we lost either Mo or our Captain. But I’d be heartbroken if we lost both in the same trade. Leon can’t do what Mo does defensively, and one thing this team desperately needs is a solid defense and Mo is the core of that moving forward.
I’m making this comment as a reply to all who’s commented and giving my opinion.
They are literally not trading Larkin for anyone.
My thoughts are that a hockey columnist in the offseason still has a job to do. Considering you reposted the article, it looks like he’s doing it.
I mean it’s a huge price but it’s also adding a top 5 player in the world.
Larkin and Seider? Hell no. That wouldn’t help us one bit.
ESPN is trolling us
Wonder what a doable trade looks like where we don’t include either of them. Like Raymond and a bunch of 1sts? Raymond, Danielson, Kasper, ASP + 1-2 1st round picks? I have no clue. This is way out of my realm and I’m too lazy to lookup a trade value tool.
Only thing on our side in this is that he’s entering the final year of his contract and they will need to extend McDavid in 2 years (?) and need to put money towards the rest of their team. But I doubt he gets moved, especially after damn near winning it all with a severely injured McDraisaitl.
lol. You really think Larkin is waiving his full NTC to move from his hometown team to Edmonton?
I pack up my shit and cheer for Ottawa.
Fuck that.
Dylan and Mo are two untouchables.
I’m done cheering for this team if they get traded away.
I might not cheer for Ottawa but I’m done with the Wings.
If we gave up both our captain and best defenseman since Lidstrom for Draistaitl I would quite possibly stop being a wings fan
People get paid to write these articles??
What in the clickbait fuck is this?
What kind of drugs is ESPN on?
Just call ESPN Bo Jackson, because they know hockey.
Dude…first it’s ESPN and I’d bet they looked up how to spell Draisaitl.
Second, this isn’t even a good return for Edmonton. They can’t afford Drai, so they move him for a larks at 8+ and Mo for 8-9+
It’s a lose for both sides from one of the worst hockey sources out there.
We don’t need a 30 year old star, we need to hope we find our own with our core of guys coming or already here.
Insanity to suggest such a trade
Dudes a UFA next year. Just wait til the trade deadline.
Larkin gets hurt a lot. I wouldn’t blink at that. Seider would really hurt. I’d do with an extension in place though.
Larkin and Mo? LMAOOO some of these experts man how did they get these titles 😂😂😂 this article should be grounds for termination
lol espn.. now if it was a rumour coming out of either tsn or sportsnet it would carry some weight.. espn 😂😂😂😂😂
This dude just used ChatGPT to speculate about a trade, I’m certain.
Drai for Larkin and Mo? Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
If ANY trade includes Larkin, Mo, or Raymond, it’s a no from me dawg
In no world would trading Larkin AND Mo make us better. Makes zero sense
As someone who wanted Draisaitl in the past, my tune has changed. I wouldn’t touch that with your dick.
I would take Stamkos on a cheap, shortish-term deal, and if they re-sign Kane slap together a Kane-Stamkos-ADB line.
This is, of course, assuming that guys like Perron and Sprong are out.
I don’t think I would trade Raymond, Seider, Larkin or Edvinsson, ASP or Danielson for him but everyone else would be on the table. And probably 3-4 First Rounders. I would do something like:
DeBrincat, Kasper, Cossa and 3 first round picks.
Would be an insane trade for sure.
With what GM would Edm use?
Lol then we’d be worse off. They aren’t trading Larkin and they aren’t trading Mo
How you don’t just scroll past this nonsense is beyond me. Draisaitl would cost us Seider and Raymond. Hard pass, as good as he is.
Which brings be to Stamkos. JUST STOP. He’s 152 years old. We’d be better overpaying for another 2 years of Kane. Not only is Kane better than Stamkos, he’s already in Detroit. Knows the system, has chemistry. Yzerman has a better chance of landing McDavid than Draisaitl.
