Leverage in the end is dictated by law of supply & demand - Larkin type talent as 2C is obviously limited as supply but with no market competition to speak where’s the demand side to drive up acquisition cost / leverage coming from?

IF rumored Yurov, Stramel, top-9 player and 1st rounder was the ask - would think a deal would be long done w Minny.

So Guerin likely isn’t willing to offer the package, so I don’t see where Horcoff has any leverage unless he’s willing to GM a last place team if this keeps dragging on while trying to secure the GM position…

So something’s gonna give, Larkin will add destination to his list or Horcoff will be forced to have Guerin take him to the cleaners which sure as hell won’t have his boss offer him the fulltime GM job

Teams will not bend over to give Wings or Peg market value

I'm surprised that with Barkov-Marchand out, the Panthers didn't land Larkin yet.....

Nothing is happening. We’re not on the list. And judging by the way we are operating right now, why would he come here?

The "we're not on the list part is true" but the rest is clearly not. The Wings are clearly trying to convince/force Larkin to accept a trade to the Habs. It's beyond obvious.
