Rumor
Dylan Larkin · Joel Eriksson Ek · Detroit Red Wings · Minnesota Wild · 
Buffalo Sabres · 
Montreal Canadiens · 
Boston Bruins · 
Nashville PredatorsChris Johnston (The Athletic) says there's still a feeling Dylan Larkin ends up with the Minnesota Wild. Nothing is done yet, but he's the big name to watch on the market. Darren Dreger (TSN) and David Pagnotta (Daily Faceoff) have reported on it too.
“still a feeling”
Chris Johnston (The Athletic) adds that Buffalo has joined Montreal in showing interest in Larkin, even though neither team is on his trade list. Nothing confirmed for now.
On TSN's Early Trading, Darren Dreger ran through the teams linked to Larkin that aren't on his list: the Canadiens, the Bruins, maybe Nashville, and he also floated Buffalo and St. Louis.
David Pagnotta (Daily Faceoff) still sees Minnesota as the front runner for Larkin. If Larkin opens his list beyond 10 teams, Boston and the Canadiens could get into the mix.
“Minny's in the lead”
On the Larkin file, David Pagnotta (Daily Faceoff) says Detroit has asked the Wild about Joel Eriksson Ek, going back to when Steve Yzerman was still in charge. Pagnotta says he wouldn't do it if he were Minnesota.
TVA Sports relays Elliotte Friedman's comments on 32 Thoughts: the Buffalo Sabres reportedly tried to get into the Dylan Larkin race, even though they're not on his list. Montreal isn't on it either for now.
