The Edmonton Oilers are reported to be considering a blockbuster trade that would send Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin to Edmonton. The proposed return package is described as led by prospect Matthew Savoie and could include additional young players, with at least one report framing the proposal as an Oilers “pitch” for Larkin.
Other coverage adds context on why a deal would be difficult. Detroit is characterized as preferring a non-rebuilding approach, which could affect how readily it parts with Larkin, while Larkin’s contract situation and his no-trade clause are cited as potential obstacles. As a result, at least some outlets treat the idea as speculative and more theoretical than an imminent transaction, rather than a confirmed agreement. Overall, the reports align on the parties involved and the broad structure of the proposed package, but diverge in how they assess the likelihood of the deal and the specific negotiating constraints.
