DET easily declines that is not enough

Would Thomas instead of Kyrou get it done? I've seen many trades of Parayko for Draisaitl on this site. I feel as though Larkin and Drai are comparable players

Highly doubt Wings would trade Larkin. He is probable their future captain. Mantha would be more acceptable and we do not want J. Allen

No Larkin ..no Mantha.. Next?

Red wing fans will make you think that Larkin is one of the best players in the league, but fans of the other 30 franchises realize that while he is young and incredibly talented his career high for points is still 63 and when you are, as the Wings are in this proposal, getting an established top pair dman (or at least top 4), an upgrade/slight salary relief in goal and a top prospect who could probably easily exceed 63 points, I don’t see where the speculation even comes in. I think it’s a no brainer, the wings would be so much closer to winning if they did this.

I think so

Wings would probably be willing to give up AA if not Larkin or Mantha

People think the red wings are the ones getting screwed here?

Not bad at all. Detroit gets a real good defenseman, a good prospect and a goalie who is locked in. If anything, I don’t think the Blues are getting enough.

Larkin is all potential. If he’s a 63 point player a year then this deal is a considerable overpay. He’s been in the league 3 years. I think his peak will hover around 70points so I believe this is a fair trade and likely favors DET since Parayko is young and established and Allen is a young starting goaltender (aside from January when he is invisible). Also Kyrou who could potentially score 50-60 points a year in a few years

Yes, and also the price for a RHD is expensive so tbh I’d ask more from Detroit or simply take out Kyrou and use him in a deal to get a scoring winger.
