Larkin Price Tag: What It Would Take for Penguins to Land Detroit's Star
The piece weighs the cost for the Pittsburgh Penguins to land Detroit captain Dylan Larkin, noting his 30-goal seasons, four-year, $8.7M cap hit, and full no-trade clause. It argues the price would be steep—likely a first-round pick or two, a top prospect (with Ben Kindel as a likely centerpiece), and an NHL player—drawing on recent comps like JT Miller and Jack Eichel trades. While Larkin would be a strong fit and could accelerate Pittsburgh’s contention window, the move would also complicate the rebuild, and much hinges on Larkin’s openness to a trade and Dubas’s willingness to pay the price.
